This week, let’s highlight art.

There are a lot of examples of art in the children’s room, from our posters and framed pictures to the covers of books. Photography is a type of art and is often featured on the covers of nonfiction books. Did you see our shark display last month? There were photos of sharks on the covers of many of the books. Picture books contain a lot of artwork, mostly in the form of illustrations. Do you have a favorite picture book?& What do you like about the pictures?

Hello, August!  Did you know that August is National Picnic Month?  Now is the time to get out the blanket and picnic basket and pack up some of your favorite treats- or make some new ones.  Don’t know where to start- you have come to the right place.

Next week is the beginning of August- can you believe it?  If you haven’t signed up for Summer Reading yet, there is still time to register and enter to win some amazing prizes. 

The Summer Olympics begin on this week on Friday, July 23 and to celebrate we have created a selection of Olympics books, as well as a fun activity for you to make at home.  Come in and check out our display- in our collection you will find nonfiction books about some of the sports that are being competed in and some biographies about famous gymnasts.

Get ready for some great programs coming during April vacation! 

This series peers under the ground, into trees, and elsewhere in nature to explore the lives and growth of an assortment of creatures and plants.

Interested in teaching your children about saving, money, and needs versus wants?  Starting an allowance and want to explain how to save? The Bridgewater Public Library can help!  We are also sharing a link from Rockland Trust bank, who has designed a Ms. Money at home program, with lessons, songs and activity sheets you can print out and use to teach your children all about money.  We also have books for your older children, who may be interested in learning about ways to make money!
