December 2011's Family Craft Night

For this past December's family craft night we invited the people of Greencastle and the surronding area to join us for the "Snow Sock Man" event with their families. :) Every child was welcome to create a craft, for this selected event we made Snowmen out of socks and other assortment of accessories. For this craft night we provided food, craft supplies, and a special drawing where individual prizes. :) We think the families really enjoyed this fun event. We hope to see you and your family at our next family night coming in January. :)

Besore's Spring Fling, "Taste of the Town"

Its time for Besore Memorial Library's SPRING FLING: "Taste of the Town". This can't-miss event will once again be held at Green Grove Gardens on Thursday, March 15, 2012 from 6:30-9:30pm. This capital campaign fundraiser promises great food from local restaurants, both live and silent auctions, and live entertainment. Tickets will go on sale on January 23. Tickets will be $40 each, two tickets for $75, and eight tickets for $275. Last year, all of the tickets sold out, so purchase early! :) 

Read-To-the-Dogs

This event is fun for all ages and held at the Besore library, it takes place on the third monday of each month. And it is a time for family togetherness, even man's/woman's/child's best friend gets to join in. :) It is a way to encourage your children to read by having them read to someone they really care for, their pets. :) There are usually three or four dogs that come from the Kindly Canines program.

American Girls Club (Dec 17th 2011)

The American Girls Club is a club for girls who enjoy reading the American girl series. The club's meetings are held at the Besore Library every third Saturday of the month. This Month the club focused on Kirsten, a Sweddish girl who comes to America with her family. They discuss the selected girl's life, games she may have played and struggles she dealt with during the stories. And the girls get to sample food that the selected girl might have eaten during her life. Its a chance for young girls to learn a little about history and get a taste for what life might have been like for other girls in different eras in history. :)

A Home Activity for December! :)

Enjoy baking cookies with your child (it may be messy but worth all the learning experiences your child will receive!) Once they are all baked wrap up a plate of cookies, help your child practice zippering their coat, and then take a walk and deliver the cookies to a neighbor! Making someone smile is such a great reward! :)
