New Staff

Hello! My name is Eve Harm or Miss Eve and I am the newest addition to the West Regional Kids family.

I am originally from Jacksonville and have lived here my entire life. I am super duper excited about getting back into childrens. My last library was San Marco but I have worked at Webb, Graham, Westbrook, Maxville, Main, Brown Eastside and now West : ) I love kitties and have four at home...

Now it's time to say goodbye to all our friends, "Goodbye!" (clap hands to beat and wave during 'goodbye')

Now it's time to say goodbye to all our friends, "Goodbye!"

Now it's time to say goodbye,

Wave your hands,

Wink your eye,

Now it's time to say goodbye to all our friends, "Goodbye!"
(Sang to the tune of “She’ll be Coming Round the Mountain)

This week's theme was Friends. We heard some great stories about a bear named Alexander as well as "My Friend Rabbit" by Eric Rohmann. Then did a fun friendship bracelet craft : )

Next week's theme is Apples and be forewarned, there will be painting, shaking and a whole barrel of fun : P Hope to see you there!
