It's another exciting week in the Children's Room! After a long weekend to celebrate the 4th of July, we were back yesterday with our Wednesday afternoon program! This week Mary Tooley visited us with her Art in a Suitcase program! We traveled off to the African savannah where we learned about all kinds of African animals like elephants, giraffes, cheetahs, ostriches and even the black mamba snake! We even got to practice our folding and observation skills by making origami cheetahs! What a great afternoon!

Instead of our usual walk from the library to the Trestle Trail, we held the event indoors at the library. It was a full house of fun! Families started in the entry way, jumped to the Children's Room, hopped upstairs and shot down the elevator in our spacious meeting rooms on the lower level.
