"NEW BOOKS" LIST FOR NOV 07 - APR 08 AT END OF NEXT WEBPAGE

MUDDY DAY @ PRESCHOOL STORYTIME
Storytime on Wednesday, April 30th, begins at 10:30 am. It’s all about Mmmmmm! Mud! We'll enjoy lots of wonderful books and learn some songs and fingerplays about ooey, gooey, squishy, squashy mud! There will be a flannel board story about little piggies rolling in the mud, and at the craft tables, the children can recreate that scene by fingerpainting a muddy pig picture! Roll up your sleeves and join us! All area three to five year olds are invited to bring a caregiver to the library’s weekly 45-minute storytime. No registration is needed, and the program is open to preschoolers everywhere!

POET/MEMOIRIST @ CFL
On Tuesday, April 29th, poet and memoirist Michael Czarnecki, presents two programs. The first is a “Bring Your Lunch” workshop from noon to 2 pm featuring his memoir-writing method known as “Palm-of-the-Hand.” He will guide participants in how to write about their lives, stories for family members to enjoy or that might be published in a book. The Friends will provide dessert and beverages.

That evening at 7 pm, Czarnecki entertains his audience with spontaneous creative nonfiction storytelling that draws on experiences from all stages of the writer’s life. He has hitchhiked 30,000 miles, backpacked in the mountains, raised a family, homesteaded and more. These programs are co-sponsored by Poets & Writers, Inc. through public funds it has received from the New York State Council on the Arts.

SPRING EDITION OF CFL Scribbles AVAILABLE
The latest edition of our literary magazine is now available. It contains stories, poems and drawings including haikus written by staff and patrons in celebration of National Poetry Month.

MAGIC TREE HOUSE CLUB
Children in grades K-5 who have registered for the program are invited to join Jack and Annie on Wednesday evening, April 30th, to go on another Magic Tree House adventure.
