Kicking 2020 off with a bang!

January has kicked 2020 off to a great start!

January Events

January 15^th, Ms. Jennifer did our story time and we read The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats. After the story we had a craft that the children enjoyed with Peter on a snowy day.

January Fundraiser Status

Our fundraiser completed last month and as I am typing up today’s post, Tennsco is installing the first set of our shelves. It is so very exciting. This will allow us to shift the books and have more space for growth.

Future Events

February 12^th at 10:30 am Children’s Story Time hosted by Ms. Kara and Spots Pots Pottery. Check it out at our event page.

February is Black History Month and Library Lovers Month. Come on in and see what we have going on.

Starting February 10th will we start our adult coloring contest. We have prizes from Cuttin' Up Hair Salon, SOS Massage, and White Bluff Car Care. Make sure to check the event page for more information as we get closer.

We would love to host more story times and other activities. We just need volunteers to get it done. Would you be interested in helping?

National School Choice Week

January 26 - February 1, 2020 is National School Choice Week.

This week is set aside to highlight that not every child learns the same and that there are options. Having the ability for families to choose the best k-12 education for their children is vital. Options include all forms of education, from traditional public schools, to public charter schools, public magnet schools, private schools, online academies, and homeschooling.

Each student deserves to be challenged and motivated in their education. Because each student has their own strengths, weaknesses, talents, interests, and challenges the availability of options in education is crucial. School choice ensures that each student can find a learning environment that allows them to be inspired, successful, and happy.

Here at the Jennie Woodworth Library we have students from all walks check out books and DVDs as well as use our computers for research. We are in favor of education.
