And now a plug for our public libraries! We have been spending a lot of time in various ones around town. The programs are great and its cool and free. I am still being the teacher at the small country Garfield library once a month. Our last theme was King, Queens and Emperors (so the girls dressed appropriately) our craft was making a crown.
Twice we met Maryam and her new baby Joseph at a library by her home for special programs. He mostly slept but they enjoyed being out of the house too.
First was An Afternoon in Africa and a lady from Kenya told stories with puppets and showed clothes and also let the children play African instruments. It was a long program so Lydia was warmed up enough to volunteer to play a bell.
Then we saw the Singing Zoologist and became groupies and went to see him at another library as well. He tells stories and sings silly songs about animals.
