This week we are making some friends that are… a little bit different than the usual! Check this out! Monster Mayhem! We are learning that not all monsters are scary, just misunderstood, and some monsters need confidence and the power of friendship to defeat! Some can even teach us a thing or two about our emotions and how to deal with them! We need your bravery, confidence, and creativity this week at the library for our session to face these monsters together! We hope to see you there! 

To have fun exploring this week’s theme at home, download our monstrous colouring sheets and have a look through this week’s marvelous reading list!  Head over to your local library branch and see if you can find a friendly monster book!

Week three, where to be? Well, at your local library for the Summer Reading Program, of course! Leave your pets at home though, because this week’s stories are for kids only! 

This week we will be venturing into the world of animals and insects, being curious about how they adapt to live in their environments, what they spend all day doing, what and who they eat, and we are even going to make a home for our very own spider friend! The theme this week is: Check this out! Creatures, Critters, and Crawlers! Even though there won’t be actual animals at this meeting, we will be reading plenty of books, making lots of crafts, and playing lots of games that will show us how amazing animals are! We can’t wait to see you at the library this week! 

To learn more, download this week’s critter colouring sheet and check out this week’s animal-packed reading list! 

Say hi to your pet for us!
