Historical March 1979 report or notice. Dates, prices, programs, contacts and any regulatory statements refer to the original period; current availability or applicability is not established.
The Des Peres Branch Children’s Librarian, Ms. Wagner, has announced several programs for children and youth at the library, Kingsbury and Des Peres.
Arts and crafts will be offered each Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. if there are a sufficient number of youngsters interested. It will be necessary to sign up for this activity as pre-planning is essential.
Films are shown Thursdays at 3:30 p.m. The schedule for this month is:
March 1 It’s Not Cricket Popeye the Sailor Meets Ali Baba’s 40 Thieves Brainy Bear
March 8 Kon Tiki Kids Thank You, Ma’am The Fastest and the Mostest
March 15 A Lad in the Lamp Three Robbers Ugly Duckling
March 22 Pee Wee and the Little Ape Rikki Tikki Tavi
Two feature films for children are coming to Des Peres on successive Fridays. The films will be shown, one each week, at 1:00 on
March 16 and 23. Pre-school classes, or kids out of school are invited to attend.
Friday at the Library finds children participating in Game Day. Monopoly, Chess, Clue, Checkers, Sorry, Candyland, Backgammon and Dominoes are among the games available. Instruction will be provided for those who want to learn a new game. Children may bring a friend or come to make a friend and play at 3:30.
Of course, children are always encouraged to get a card and borrow a few books. As a special service to youngsters, their cards may be kept on file at the library. In this way mothers will not have to hear, “Where’s my library card?” every week.
