A New Look for the Children’s Library
The painting in the Children’s Library is 99% complete with only a few details left to be finished. Just so you’ll know, it really looks great; come see for yourself. Holly is holding off story time until Thursday, January 19th to help you avoid some of the mess (you can still come look at books and check them out.) She has lots of great stories and fun crafts to fill those dreary winter days ahead. By the way, these are two of the new colors you’ll see downstairs (the yellow doesn’t show up very well on the computer screen so you’ll need to come see that color in person.)
Presenting the Parasol Puppets
The Parasol Puppets will add a holiday twist to a classic tale at Atchison Public Library when they give a FREE performance of the festive handpuppet show, THE GINGERBREAD MAN’S CHRISTMAS. This delightful puppet show will be performed on Saturday, December 17th when we celebrate the Christmas holiday with “Breakfast With Santa” from 10:00 a.m. to noon.
When Mrs. Claus bakes a special cookie for Santa, the Gingerbread Man decides that he doesn’t want to get eaten! He hops off of the cookie sheet and begins his sing-a-long adventure. Of course, Santa will be on hand to offer other stories, plus fun crafts and other activities. This special event is free, but space is limited and you’ll need a ticket to attend. You can get your FREE ticket at the circulation desk. Contact Holly Hutchinson, Youth Services Librarian, at 913-367-1902 for more information.
