3rd Grades Visit Putnam

On Wednesday, April 30th, all of the 3rd grade classes from Fuller Street Elementary school visited the library.  Accompanied by Mrs. Heather Bross and aides, they walked from the school to the library.

The 3rd Grade students are working on research reports about various animals.  Assistant Director, Emily Mater, showed the students how to use encyclopedias to find information.  She also encouraged them to look in unexpected places for related topics.  For example, she recommended a biography of Jane Goodall to a student studying primates.

Library Director, Shauna Swantek, gave students a tour of the rest 

of the library.  She showed students the Circulation Desk where they check out and return materials -- and where they sign up for a FREE library card!  She encouraged them to all return with mom and/or dad to get one and begin using it this summer during the reading program.

The students also got a tour of the upstairs of the library.  

The second floor houses the

library's classic and rare books as well as several local history rooms.  The students were impressed by the interesting items found there.  The library was delighted to share the treasures of the library with the students and looks forward to seeing them in the future!

A special thank you to Mrs. Bross and Fuller Street Elementary for all of their support this school year!
