Please join us in welcoming Jasmine to our puppet family. Her fellow puppet Lilly (the frog) is glad to have some company.

JMCL Kids Event Email List–Important!

UPDATE; Feb 5 4:40pm:

Miss Liz found the email addresses!  However, she will have to re-enter them into the system, so it will take some time….but she will send the email reminder list out sometime this weekend.  Hooray!

Miss Liz accidentally erased the JMCL Kids  Email Event List.

There was no backup.

She no longer has any email addresses (at ALL) of the people who signed up to receive emails about upcoming events at the libraries.

If you would like to re-subscribe to this email service, send a quick email to JMCL.Childrens@lssi.com stating you would like to receive emails.

And this time she will back her list up.

Thank you and sorry for any inconvenience.

Kindermusik at Friday Feb 5th Storytimes

Join us on Friday February 5th for special storytimes at the Main Library.  Bethany Lutz will be teaching a Kindermusik class at both the 9:30am and 10:30am storytime.

Kindermusik is a music class created specifically for young children.  According to the Kindermusik website,  Kindermusik can help your child develop early literacy and lanuage skills, acquire reasoning and early math skills, increase self control, and cultivate a life-long love of music.

We hope to see you here!

(Oh, and Bethany will be doing a Tuesday storytime in the near future at the Main Library, time TBD.   She will be around at the programs already scheduled at Library North during the next couple weeks and presenting a short class at the end of those children’s programs.)
