Craft Extravaganza Success

Thank you to everyone who attended the Craft Extravaganza on Tuesday, April 18th. It was a great success. We had over 70 children attend this event and they got to try out 5 different crafts ranging from decorating a butterfly stick puppet to decorating their own treasure chests with shells. Thank you to everyone who was patient with the crowded space and eventually the lack of supplies as things started running out. I was very happy to see such a great turnout for this event!

The book title chosen at the recent meeting of the Readers of the Roundtable for the month of May is Heaven by Angela Johnson. We will be meeting to discuss Heaven on May 16 at 6:30 at the library. Anyone ages 9 and older are invited to join us for discussion, snacks, trivia, and lots of fun.

We also had good attendance at our movie showing of Chronicles of Narnia (2005) on Good Friday at the Library. We had 12 people attend of various ages. We all got to enjoy fresh popcorn, a good movie, and good company. Thanks for attending. On Thursday May 18th we will be showing Nanny McPhee new on DVD at 3:00 at the Library. This is a half day for Pinckney Public Schools so we are hoping some of you can come watch with us!

Thanks everyone for making the youth programs at the Pinckney Public Library successful. If you have any questions about these programs or other youth programs please contact me at the Library 734-878-3888 or scastle@tln.lib.mi.us.
