News From The Children's Room

To welcome in the upcoming winter season and holiday, Donna Green led the program "Time for Kids Snowman Craft" on Saturday, December 1 for the talented Garden City residents, ages 2 1/2 through 5.

Craft time for grades K-5 will be held on December 15 at 1:30 PM for Grades K-2 and at 2:30 PM for Grades 3-5. We will be "Creating Paper Toys with Miguel Cossio". Registration begins December 8 at 9:00 AM.

There are openings in our special needs story time! Please contact the children's room for additional information if interested. Additional dates are December 7 and December 14. We have had several sessions so far and the results have been positive, and we all had a great time! We plan to continue this program in the winter on a weekly basis.

The library now subscribes to an after school Live Homework Help center, called "tutor.com", where children in grades 4th - 12th grades can connect to a "live" tutor in the online classroom for expert help in Math, Science, Social Studies and English! This service is available every day from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. If you are visiting the library, simply click the link on the Library website, enter the grade level and the subject area and you are connected to an expert! If you are working at home, access library website at www.gardencitypl.org , enter your library card number when prompted and follow the easy directions.

Please check the library website www.gardencitypl.org for upcoming events and registration dates. Funding for these programs has been provided by the Friends of the Garden City Public Library. Priority for registration and participation is given to children who are Garden City Public Library cardholders.
