Do you know that we have a FANTASTIC library here in Grafton?
Did you know that your card has resources for libraries in Dodge, Ozaukee, Sheboygan, and Washington counties?
There are so many things the library offers besides checking out books! Check out some of these fun things to do at the library!
- Look at old pictures from your birthday, or a hundred years ago, or when grandma was born.
- Look for the biggest book in the library. Take your picture with it.
- Browse the travel section, find a place you want to visit, make some plans.
- Go to the cookbook area, choose a recipe, go the store, get the ingredients and cook it that day.
- Everyone find a poem, copy it into your journal.
- Choose some random music, listen to it all the way through.
- Find books of quotes. Find a good one and write outside on the sidewalk in chalk.
- Bring paper and colored pencils. Draw from the easy I-Can-Draw-Books for an hour.
- Take a present to the librarians.
- Leave a thoughtful review on a post it note in a book you really loved.
- Find out what services your library offers. Ebooks? Streaming?
- Check out one of the study rooms.
- Arrange a library tour.
- Browse books – Learn to identify something new in nature.
- Ask about the special collections.
- Read a biography from the children’s sections on someone you know very little about.
- Find a baby name book, make a list of funny name combinations, choose a new name for the day.
- Hunt for authors with your last name.
- Look in the reference section. What is the weirdest reference book you can find?
- Make sure each child in your family has their own library card and bag. Do not fuss about late fees. Ever.
I love the library! I’m there often and know Ms. Nicholllette would love to help you find a great read! Check it out!
Happy Reading!
