The summer reading program has begun at the Schulenburg Public Library and is in full force, with great attendance for the Saturday Story Hours and the Summer Reading Program. Starting, June 3, 2006, 20 children attended the first story hour. The children listened to butterfly stories and later created their own beautiful butterfly. The second story hour on June 10, 2006, 20 children listened to farm stories and later crafted their own duck hat. They also enjoyed coloring their own farm booklet with color pages and farm songs. 24 children attended the nature story hour on June 17th. They made a Turtle Father’s Day card, colored a Nature packet and Father’s Day color pages for their fathers. The past story hour on June 24th, 24 children heard racecar stories and later made their own racecar out of snacks. They also colored car packets and played with toy cars. After all the excitement of each story hour, the children enjoy a snack of punch and cookies.
The Schulenburg Public Library also holds a story hour on Monday and Wednesday mornings for the Boys and Girls Club of Champion Valley. The 20 children come and hear delightful stories read by our part-time high school help.
