Also during this week we will be holding a Chirldren's Book Week gift bag drawing. All you have to do to enter is to stop in and fill out a slip.

This is the final week of our Children's Buy-a-Book campaign. It's your last chance to show your love of children's books and the library by buying a book to honor a child in your life or as a gift from your family. Buy-a-Books are on display in the Children's Room.

Check out the Children's Book Week website for more fun activities.

This is also the week that the NYS 3 Apples Children & Teen Book Awards will be announced. Check back for the winning titles!

The library will be holding our monthly "Music Time at the Library" on May 8th at 11:00am.

This is an opportunity for the children to sing, dance and play some musical instruments.
