February 7, 2024 - The first "Take Your Child to the Library Day" at the Fannie Brown Booth Memorial Library on Saturday, February 3 was a great success in spite of the rainy weather.
Mr. Roy Davis read the book, "Library Books are Not for Eating." The kids enjoyed hearing about a dinosaur teacher with a voracious appetite for books. To Eat!
Bandit the Raccoon made a visit and got lots of hugs. The kids made origami bookmarks, had fun with LEGO's, crafts, dinosaurs, puzzles, coloring pages and magnets. The photo booth was a big hit with the kids also.
Even with rainy and cold weather, we had an attendance of 41.
And the Fannie Brown Booth Memorial Library wants to invite you to "Take Your Child to the Library" any time.
