TBT: Bring Back Story Hour

Yes, it's Thursday, which means we have one more day and then our book-filled weekend begins! Of course in Library World, our days are always filled with books, we just never have time to read them. So you can imagine how excited we are when we get some free time to indulge our book cravings!

This rather overcast day has given me a chance to finish up some work. I still have not found a technology grant to apply for, though I will continue to search for one. I have, finally, finished a teen online book club. I started make this really complicated one and then I realized you can use Goodreads. So I went the easy route: https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/136856-sapl-book-club. I'm getting pumped now! I can't wait to start discussing books, offer reading suggestions and (I hope) find new books to order! Any, interested teen needs to verify their e-mail and whatnot. If you need help joining, just stop by and I'll lend you a hand.

Today is Throw Back Thursday and for us SAPL staff we go way back to when we had story hour. We've not had a Saturday story hour in a couple of years and this year we've cancelled the mid-week story/ craft hour for our Summer Reading Program.

 Children aren't showing up and without the kids, well, we end up reading stories to ourselves and making a mess out of the crafts. I miss story hour...

A story hour session from a couple of years ago. 

which is why I want to bring it back! I can't just schedule story hours and have no one show up though. So, I'm asking area patrons to help me out. Tell the staff what times and days does story hour work best for your family. Do your younger kids need something to do while the older ones go to practice? Do you have errands that are easier to do on the weekends without the kids? We can help you there. So, tell us what works and doesn't work. 

Help us bring back story hour for the kids!

Yours in books,

Sarah
