PCL Tween Program!

Tween Program!

The Putnam County Library is pleased to have had such a great response to the Tween Program being offered!The program is for kids between 8 and 12, and is hosted by Sarah, one of the Children's Librarians.During our first meeting, the kids chose a name- Kids Of The P.C.L. We played a few Ice Breaker games, and they ate a TON of Pizza! Everyone had a great time!

During our second meeting, the kids each received a copy of the book we are reading, "Three Cups Of Tea" by Greg Mortenson. We discussed it a little during our third meeting, and everyone seems to love it! If you have not read the book, I suggest reading it- it's a tale of struggle, loss, healing, and triumph over many obstacles. We have a copy in the Adult Section, and the Young Reader's Edition in Children's. Soon, we are going to be holding a bake sale, to raise money to help families in other countries. We are hoping to earn enough to buy several farm animals and medical kits, as well as basic necessities for people who have so little.

October 30th, we will be having a Halloween Party! Food, Games, and Guitar Hero! If you're interested, please come to the Children's Library, and ask for Sarah. Permission slips MUST be filled out in advance. Everyone is more than welcome to wear a costume or pajamas.
