Here’s to the official start of summer (the first day was officially yesterday)! It’s definitely been
a wet spring, so hopefully the rain will subside, and bring the sunshine. We
had lots of fun during our storytimes last week.
This morning, our friend Ayla the Golden Retriever came by
for our Tail Waggin’ Tutors program. Being an exceptionally sweet dog, Ayla
makes a great partner to read with. Kids of all ages can read to Ayla, or just
share in her company. The next time she will be in is July 20th at
10:30am.
For the second week of SRP we have lots of creative and
inventive programs. Wednesday, artist Augusto Bordelois will be coming again to
share his exciting painting program, “Action Painting”. This program helps
children build skills to be a team player as they paint blindfolded. This was
so popular last year that we will be having two sessions—2 or 3pm. Take your
pick, and click here to register: https://goo.gl/Mwk9ky
Thursday we will be having “Magic is Fun”. Kids will learn
some tricks of the trade from Magician Gordon, and will get a starter kit to
take home. We’ve been pleasantly surprised with the interest, and currently the
program is booked. However, a waiting list has started. If you’re interested in
being put the waiting list, click here to register: https://goo.gl/PQ8kG1
The first of our Crafternoons is also Thursday. Using
conductive thread and LED lights or Sharpie marker tie-dye, participants can
create their own unique T-shirt capes, perfect for pretty much every day. Click

We’ll be finishing off week two with "Explore the Floor". This
program is geared towards babies from birth to two and their caregivers. Using
different educational activities and toys, babies can learn and explore. Click
