At Tuesday's afternoon children's class, Ms. Cymre read books about tiny dinosaurs. Then the kids made fingerprint dinosaurs.

Starting next Tuesday, June 9th, our children's classes will look like the following:

10:30 am - Ages 0-4 in the meeting room.

10:30 am - Ages 5+ in the children's area.

2:30 pm - all ages in the meeting room.

Each class will have the same theme for the day. Choose the class that works best for your family!

This program is made possible thanks to a 2026 Save the Children US Summer Reading Grant.

Tuesday we celebrated our Summer Reading kickoff with a visit from Aubrey Oaks Alpacas. Mrs. Kim read the book, "Alpacas Make Terrible Librarians".

Then the kids got to pet the alpacas and "greet" them with a hello. Did you know an alpaca says hello by touching their nose to your nose?

This program was made possible thanks to a 2026 Save the Children US Summer Reading Grant.

#earlyliteracy

The library's bilingual class gained early literacy and early language skills with Ms. Itzel. They love singing familiar songs in both English and Spanish.

Did you know story time at Chick-fil-A Gainesville (TX) (Gainesville, TX) is back?! On the 2nd Monday of each month you can join library staff for stories, songs, and an activity. Our April theme was all about spring. We loved seeing your smiling faces again!

This week we featured books from the Texas 2x2 Reading List. These picture books are selected by Texas librarians as stand-out read-alouds for children ages 2 to 2nd grade.

The children's class participants learned the ASL sign for "turtle" this week. They also did a community coloring activity to color spring flowers.

The kids had so much fun over spring break reading and learning with Ms. Cymre in our weekly children's classes. Join us Tuesday at 10:30 or 2:30 for this early learning opportunity.

On Tuesday the kids read The Very Hungry Caterpillar and learned about butterflies.
