Back in November 2008, we started photographing our new cardholders. Here are a few for the last two months!

The New County Delivery Truck

Check out the new library delivery truck! Lovettsville girls must be the cutest because they made both sides of the truck! The little girl in the yellow shirt is on one side as well as the little girl in the white and red sundress on the other side. Both are regulars at our Born to Read storytime!

Lovettsville Pet Parade

Summer Reading is here and the 6th Annual Pet Parade brought it in with a "Bark." It was one of the most successful that we have had, with plenty of dogs (all shapes and sizes) along with a few kitties and stuffed animals. Everyone went home with pet treats and paper plate awards for categories such as the fluffiest and the loudest. And the popsicles were a great treat for everyone who attended. Just check out these pictures!!

Teddy Bear Storytime

What a great day we had at the Teddy Bear Storytime!! Thank you so much for coming out. Here are the books we read today, along with the songs, rhymes, and pictures from the event! And don't forget to leave me a comment! I love hearing from those that came!

Books:
Beady Bear by Don Freeman
Mr. Bear's Picnic by Debi Gliori
The Bear Came Over to My House by Rick Walton

Songs:

Bears (Sung to Mary Had A Little Lamb)

Grizzly bears are big and brown,
Big and brown, big and brown.
Grizzly bears are big and brown,
And live in the woods.

Polar bears are soft and white,
Soft and white, soft and white.
Polar bears are soft and white,
And live where it is cold.

Panda bears are black and white,
Black and white, black and white.
Panda bears are black and white,
And live in the jungle.

Teddy bears are just my size,
Just my size, just my size.
Teddy bears are just my size,
To cuddle with at night.

If You’re a Bear and You Know it (Sung to "If You're Happy and You Know It")

If you’re a panda bear and you know it, clap your paws.
If you’re a panda bear and you know it, clap your paws.
If you’re a panda bear and you know it, then your face will surely show it.
If you’re a panda bear and you know it, clap your paws.

If you’re a polar bear and you know it, show your teeth.
If you’re a polar bear and you know it, show your teeth.
If you’re a polar bear and you know it, then your face will surely show it.
If you’re a polar bear and you know it, show your teeth.

If you’re a grizzly bear and you know it, growl real loud.
If you’re a grizzly bear and you know it, growl real loud.
If you’re a grizzly bear and you know it, then your face will surely show it.
If you’re a grizzly bear and you know it, growl real loud.

Action-Rhymes:

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, wake up now.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, take a bow.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, dance on your toes.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, touch your nose.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, turn around.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, touch the ground.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, touch your shoe.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, I love you.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, reach up high.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, wink one eye.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, slap your knees.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, sit down please.

Earth Day Storytime

Today is Earth Day and to celebrate, we held a storytime at the library where we learned about the Earth, heard the Earth's song, made promises to help by recycling, reusing, and reducing, and made litter bugs out of recycled materials. There are many books at the library that can help show you how you can help the Earth and even a Recycle Kit that you can check out. To see more photos from our Earth Day Storytime, click here to go to Flickr.
