June Week Three

It's sooo quiet here this week! Except for the noise from the construction crew! No little voices or children's laughter-but everything's staying nice and neat-just kidding. We're making some changes in the Children's Department-moving furniture and moving books (lots of books). Hope you like the way it looks when we finally open some time next week-we're not sure which day it will be. The weather is definitely NOT cooperating for working outdoors. We'll let you know!

June Week Two

GUESS WHAT!! I found Ralph World's website! You can listen to clips from each of his cd's and he has a new one out. This means that you can hear the beginning of 'Drivin' in My Car'! Check out http://www.ralphsworld.com/ See if the rest of his music grows on you like it has on me!
Well, we'll be closed all next week-but we'll be getting new stairs and a ramp so all of you with strollers will be able to use them to get inside again. We'll still answer the phones and email so if you have any questions call or drop me a line at cpotter@ci.rocky-hill.ct.us And I can't wait until we're open again to see all you and all the new things that you've learned since I saw you last. I plan on checking out the new CT Science Center in Hartford soon-I'll let you know if there's anything for the little ones!

June Week One

Happy first day of June! This week's weather looks wonderful! I just got information I wanted to share with you about great websites for kids. The American Library Association's section Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) has put together a list of great websites for kids and families. It can be found at http://www.ala.org/gwstemplate.cfm?section=greatwebsites&template=/cfapps/gws/default.cfm There are games, science information and book authors. The one I liked the most was Read Kiddo Read by James Patterson which can be found at http://www.readkiddoread.com/home It's great to have a site that can cover so many age ranges and give suggestions on other books that the child might like!
