The month of May in the Library will be one of concentrating on visits to the schools in the neighborhood. We visit each classroom, telling the children about summer activities in the Library and inviting them to join the Summer Reading Club. The Club is for 1st through 8th graders, and each child who reads fifteen books will receive a certificate and a paperback book.
Part of the Four Corners project is to put a mural on the Des Peres side of the Library building, and ideas from the people in the neighborhood are being . sought during May. A film on mural making is to be shown in the schools and at the Library on Saturday May 8 at 3 p.m., after which paper will be available for sketching ideas, with the assistance of Libby Gilk, who is setting up the project.
The spring series of story hours for preschoolers will end with the four Friday story hours during May. As usual, they will be held each Friday, at 10:30 and at 1 p.m.
And of course the Library will be represented at the Art Fair. The Women’s Information van and the Media Van will be on hand, and the Library will have a staff member present to talk about library services and register people for cards. Used books will be on sale, also, most for less than one dollar.
