A Message to You
First of all, we miss seeing our patrons. We are all doing what we need to do to keep our community, our families, and ourselves safe, but these measures we are taking present us all with a unique set of challenges. I particularly feel for you parents with young children. I try to imagine what it would have been like for me if this situation occurred when my two sons were young (They are now 24 and 25 years old and safely sheltering in place in Massachusetts and California). Quite honestly, I'm sure it would have gotten very ugly at times. So this newsletter is meant to provide you caregivers with some resources we librarians think might help get you through these difficult days. Also, if anyone has any questions, comments, requests, or would just like to vent please email me directly at p.falconer@dover.nh.gov.
Take Care, Miss Patty

We Miss You!

Online Storytimes
We plan on offering a Mother Goose on the Loose session on Fridays at 10:00 am via Zoom. As soon as we have the link set up, we will put it on FaceBook and our website. We also hope to offer one recorded storytime per week that you could view anytime on our website. In the meantime, here's a link to a YouTube reading, by our own Miss Patty, of
Things That Go Away
by Beatrice Alemagna. It's a great message for all of us.

Also, Jbrary is a fun site for storytimes with songs and rhymes.
And one more fun activity to try at home!

Poetry Contest
Our poetry contest is still on! Writing poetry can be a great way for kids, and adults, to express their feelings during this confusing time. It can also be used as part of your distance learning curriculum or just something different to try. Check out our website for all the information you need. For more information about the contest please contact Denise LaFrance at
d.lafrance@dover.nh.gov.
