Fun in the Sun


The Petite Picassos impressed library patrons with their sculpting talent. The 3-5 year old children learned the difference between 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional art, and practiced creating 3-D art with sand. Join us next week when we explore music.

Sculpture Week



Children of all ages have been enjoying a week of sculpting at Besore. Yesterday, the 9-12 year old group sculpted a statue completely from packing tape, and today the 6-8 year old group made icy creations! Tomorrow's 3-5 year old groups will be making sand sculptures; call for details.

Tee-riffic Teens

With a little instruction, a lot of cutting and some tying, a group of ladies made some very cool t-shirts at our teen Transform a T-shirt program. They each came up with a unique take on the designs they were given, so their creations are definitely one-of-a-kind. Sorry you missed it? Come to the library and check out Generation T: 108 Ways to Transform a T-shirt.

See you and your friends at our next teen program—the Ice Cream & Games Social on Thursday, July 23 from 2:00-4:00 p.m.

Fancy Footwork

Miss Rose led our 6-8-year-olds in a dance and movement class this morning at the library. The group learned the basics of several famous ballets, including Swan Lake, and got to dance to the music of each, as in this picture where they're dancing to portray swans. The group also learned about using dance to express different emotions.

Billy Goats for Breakfast, Billy Goats for Lunch...

...billy goats, billy goats, munch, munch, munch! Besore's young patrons learned about one of the many storytelling arts in the 3-5-year-old program today—puppetry! They were treated to a live showing of the puppet play "The Three Billy Goats Gruff." Then they were able to make their own puppet stages and string puppets, so that they can return home to tell the story of the three billy goats and the evil troll.
