The Children's Room

 

Our Children's Librarians have years of experience working with youngsters and the books they love. Weekly Storytimes and all other programs and activities are thoughtfully designed to encourage, in children of all ages, curiousity, learning, social engagement and a love of books and reading.

Our regular programs include:

Weekly Story times  for toddlers and for Preschool-Kindergarten. Nancy and Carolyn pick the best stories and come up with fun songs, dance, and crafts. Sometimes held outdoors for extra fun!

Monthly Baby Time with Carolyn an interactive story time for 0 through 24 months designed to stimulate hand-eye coordination, awareness, verbalization, listening skills and it is just plain fun. Also a great opportunity for young parents to meet one another.

Meet our latest Teacher LIbrarian 

We are honored to have Danville Elementary School Librarian/Media Specialist Beth Kisiel as our current Teacher Librarian! Ms. Kisiel has been fostering the love of reading at the school for 17 years and is excited to share some of her favorite books.
Among her favorites is the classic Charlotte's Web which sparked her own love of reading.
Ranging from other classics from her childhood to newer books she has shared with her students, there is something for everyone. She particularly loves, for older reader, Lauren Wolk's Wolf Hollow. Kiesiel believes in "fostering the love of literature and the passion to be lifelong learners."
We couldn't agree more and are happy to be in collaboration with Danville Elementary sharing a goal of making reading a life-long joy.

KID LIBRARIAN PROGRAM

Meet our newest Kid Librarian - Jon! Non-fiction books about natural disasters, weather and other events, such as the Titanic, are favorites of Jon who is ten and in the 4th grade.
If your 8-to-12-year-old loves to read, we are taking "job applications" for Kid Librarian! The chosen children will get to pick a theme (or their favorite books) to make a fun book display in the children's room. All books must be from the Juvenile Fiction or Juvenile Non-fiction collections.
Bring your readers in to check out Jon's display and apply to do their own. If you have already applied please be patient as we have had lots of interest!
