HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

WE WISH EVERYONE A JOYFUL AND SAFE HOLIDAY!

FROM THE WYOMING YOUTH STAFF!

Look for our New Storytime DVD!

Coming 2007!

The youth staff did not want anyone to miss storytime, so they decided to tape one for you! You will be able to view it in the Toddler Tower starting next year. You may even catch glimpses of them on WKTV!

Can you guess what story Ms. Kristin is telling?

Hmmmm...what is Ms. Kaci wearing on her head? Ms. Rita you are way to old for a pacifier!

Teen Read Week- October 15-21

The 2006 theme for Teen Read Week is Get Active @ Your Library....and that's just what we are going to do!

On October 17 at 6:00pm, yoga instructor Jennifer Beaumont will be leading a free yoga class for teens at the Wyoming Library.

Jennifer began her study of yoga, the ancient art of self-discipline, in her teenage years. Now after over seven years of dedicated practice and study, she teaches classes to adults and teenagers. Yoga helps teens learn healthy habits, develope self-control, and generally improve their overall health and mental/emtional balance.

We are excited that Jennifer is coming and hope that many of you join her fun and informative class.

Also for Teen Read Week, we will be having another very popular night of Dance Dance Revolution (DDR). Our last DDR party in August was A LOT of fun, so we hope to see you there. It will be held on October 16 at 6:00pm.

Fun Fall Family Activities

For some fall family fun, try out the following:

• Read Apples, Apples, Apples by Nancy Wallace, and then create your own apple prints. To make an apple print, cut an apple in half with a horizontal cut. There should be a visible star shape around the seeds. Remove the seeds. Press the apple into some paint and stamp onto paper.

• Read Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert, and then try a fun leaf activity. Create a leaf rubbing by placing leaves underneath a paper. Rub a crayon across the paper and watch the leaf appear beneath. Make your own leaf man by gathering leaves, arranging them, then gluing them to a paper. Create a leaf mosaic by placing leaves on a sheet of wax paper and adding some crayon shavings. Place another wax paper sheet on top and place the pieces of wax paper between a section of newspaper. Then use a warm iron to melt the crayon and wax paper.

• Head on in to the library and pick up a tree identification guide. Gather some leaves and see if your family can identify them.

Don't forget to check out fun fall programs at the library!

Is this a snake? I hope not a real one!












This magician is in training! (trying to get the snake to come out)

I think she is still wondering what she is doing here.













abracadabra?













What a catch!

There is that beautiful scarf!

I don't see any adults here. That is probably not a good idea!

This is right before the large scarf comes out.

Balloon time!

The crowd watches with much anticipation.

What is going to pop out of that hat? Be CAREFUL!

Now we are turning kids into bunnies? Hmm..














Marking his money to make sure he gets the real one back.











What an awesome trick! - and look she is still smiling!
