Pony Beads

We had so much fun last week making key chains using pony beads.  Again, we had some crafty and creative minds join us.  We loved seeing what they created!  We are certain some backpacks and key chains received some extra adornment following our activity.

Zumba

We all had so much fun dancing along with Sam Bender last Thursday.  The kids all did great following along, even some parents joined in!

Pick a Better Snack

 Amy Green joined us last week to present "Pick a Better Snack" for our Summer Reading Program.  She shared a lot of information about how much sugar is in the foods we eat/drink.  The kids were surprised to see how much sugar is in some of their favorite drinks.

Brain Games in the Library

 As part of our Summer Reading Program, we hosted Brain Games at the Library last Tuesday.  The kids had fun building puzzles, constructing with Legos, and playing games.
