I am so excited to mark February with the new venture, Bedtime Stories, which will take place at the Morgan Grove Family Center. It will take place monthly and I will be reading some of my favorite fairy tales and picture books, hopefully, to an audience of parents and children. Of course, there will be popcorn to snack on.
February marks Black History Month and books featuring African-American heroes will be on display and ready for checkout by the children. While familiar heroes like Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and Ruby Bridges are well represented in our collection, Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Mohammed Ali, and Frederick Douglas are among others in our biography section and works by Maya Angelou and Langston Hughes can be found among our poetry books.
Groundhog books start the month and Valentine's Day, 100th Day and Presidents' Day fill the month quickly with readaloud stories the children enjoy. It is surprising such a short month can have so many fun activities to fill it.
