A lot of people think that libraries are places to be quiet and stodgy, where you go to get a book but can’t really have any fun. That is NOT true at Meinders Library! We have a wonderful children’s section, with all sorts of materials ranging from audio books and video tapes to the latest graphic novels and manga from Japan. And don’t forget the classics, such as the American Girl series, or the Boxcar children!
Meinders Library also has a story-time program:
Wednesday at 10:30 is Preschool Story time, for ages 3-5.
Thursday at 10:30 is Infant Story time, for our very small patrons under 1 year of age.
Thursday at 11:30 is Toddler Story time, for children from 12 to 36 months.
Please bring your children down if you are looking for something to do! We have a coloring table, games to play, CDs to listen to and, occasionally, we put in the movies and let the kids choose from an assortment of brightly colored cushions so they can gather on the floor.
We also have children’s activities that we publicize either in the paper or with flyers out at the library. In December, we had a movie day where we showed the movie Horton Hears a Who with Jim Carrey on a large screen we borrowed from the school. We even made popcorn! In the future, we are planning more movie days and other exciting things that children and their families can come and experience here at the library.
And while its true that libraries are supposed to be quiet, no one seems to mind the laughter of small children, or the inquisitive question (and occasional tantrums) that occur. A library is a safe, exciting place to learn and we here at Meinders firmly believe that.
