Direct From the Kid's Department

on behalf of Karen and the rest of the Kid's Department:

On Saturday (April 14), Diann from the County Extension office, entertained children at the Missoula Public Library storytime with stories about construction and homes. The kids all sang along with Old Macdonald Had a Woodshop and each took home their very own carpenter pencil. I like how Diann brought the books in a toolbox and wore a hardhat. She also put up sawhorses that said “Reading Zone”.

We began National Library Week with a performance by Peggy and Rollie Meinholtz. They sang and danced and played music as well as reciting poetry by Vachel Lindsay and Peggy’s original poetry. Very entertaining! It’s also national Poetry Month. We heard several poems including her cowboy poem Coyote’s Tail Peggy also premiered her newest poem, Pate Foie gras. (French for minced fat liver)

The kid's department, as well as the rest of the library have many more programs lined up this week, since it is National Library Week. Stay tuned!
