Spring Break Begins....

Were you one of the lucky ones who got to join us today for a special screening of "Lady and the Tramp"?The movie was attended by almost 80 people who got to enjoy fresh popped popcorn and some even got the chance to try out our blow up furniture.

Making Beautiful Music

If you were in the library yesterday morning, you might have noticed that beautiful music filled the air.  We were lucky enough to have a visit by the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra String Quartet to our Toddler Time.  The string quartet was made up of musicians playing :

 The Violin

 The Cello

The Viola

Afterwards the kids got to try out their own musical skills by playing along with the quartet using paper violins and straws.  Many many thanks to the musicians, Miss Peggy and the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra!

Tra-la-la!

We are having a special visitor tomorrow for storytime.  Tomorrow at 10:30 am ONLY, we will get the chance to enjoy the music of the Jacksonville Symphony Ochestra.  There will be a string quartet and we'll be reading and playing along to the book "Mole Music".  This special performance will be open to all ages. 

Come one, come all, come short, come tall....
