International Day of Peace.

Friday was the International Day of Peace, and so we celebrated it during storytime on Wednesday.


We read The Boy With Pink Hair and National Geographic's A Little Peace. We also did a lot of singing and dancing, like every storytime!

We always end each storytime with a craft, so I came up with this paper chain-reminiscent chain of kids. I found a template online for a gingerbread man outline, then printed them out on card stock. Each child decorated their own person with crayons, colored pencils, yarn, and buttons. After letting them dry, we stapled them together and hung them up along with some signs I put together. Everything is right next to the library entrance, on the archway to the children's section.



Also, we've got pet ducks at the library now! An agricultural museum brought three little girls (we think?) by last week, and everyone is thrilled. The patrons love them, and we love taking care of them. They're going to be spoiled little ducks, I think. We've been giving them lots of fresh, delicious vegetables to eat.
