“A library is a house of hope. It’s a
place where we all, whatever our situation, can feed our ideas and develop our dreams.”
~Doug Wilhelm
November was a month full of planning--and pleasing events!
Story Time with Loomis Firefighters
was a huge success. The firefighters did a great job demonstrating their gear and letting the kids go through the fire truck.
We also hosted our first
Stuffed Animal Sleepover. We had 55 parents, kids, grandparents, and 38 stuffed animals attended a special Friday evening storytime. The stuffed animals spent the night and there was quite a bit of shenanigans after hours. The photo highlights were posted on our
Facebook page--much to the kid's delight. The kids returned on Saturday to collect their sleepy friends. This will undoubtedly become a yearly event for the library.
Special thanks to Lisa Thibodeau of Happy Road Farm for the flower crown workshop and to Peggy Word for the chocolate dipping workshop. They were both popular as were the other paper craft and doll making workshops. We are truly thankful for the generosity that flows from our community!
We marched with the
Friends of the Loomis Library in the Thanksgiving Parade and handed out links to our
Community-Wide Survey. Please help us by completing the survey by December 8th. Your participation provides vital information to help us strategically plan for the future.
