Wooly the Lamb's Visit

Fifteen youngsters joined library volunteer Deb Crandall and library director Shauna Swantek for storytime at the library on Friday, April 25th. Each child held a small stuffed lamb in honor of the theme for that day's story time.

"Grandma Deb" read The Lamb and the Butterfly during which she asked if anyone knew how to say butterfly in Spanish. After a silent pause filled the room, one eager young man with excellent listening skills raised his hand and said he knew how.

Deb asked him to share with everyone to which he replied proudly, "butterfly in Spanish." A round of applause was given--as well as the a short lesson on the Spanish word "mariposa".

Miss Shauna then led the group in a nine verse version of Mary Had a Little Lamb--while Deb showed the storybook pictures. After the singing, everyone went outside to greet a special story time guest that assistant director Emily Mater had invited. Many children posed for pictures with the lamb before returning inside to select books for reading at home!

The next story time is Tuesday, May 6th at 7 pm. It is a nighttime story time so children are invited to wear their PJs and bring a stuffed friend. The local Girl Scout troop will be attending to read their favorite stories! Mark your calendar.
