New Programs!

Hi everyone,

Here are some new programs happening at Oak Forest and Acres Homes that everyone needs to be aware of, in case customers ask about them. They are all starting in September.

1. Family Storytime at Oak Forest: This will happen every Saturday starting in September. Sonia and Sara will alternate presenting them. They start at 11 am, and are for all ages, although we are focusing on books from the Texas 2x2 list (which are also on the Name That Book list for grades K-2), so we are pushing hard for older kids than come to the Wednesday storytimes (although all ages are welcome!) If you have questions, ask Sonia or Sara!

2. Bluebonnet Book Club at Oak Forest: First Friday of the month from 3:30-4:30 pm. September's book is The Neptune Project. Each month we'll discuss a different book from the Texas Bluebonnet list (which is also on the NTB list for grades 3-6) and do a book related activity. For the Neptune Project, we're going to make Wave Bottles (oil and water, when you move it, it looks like ocean waves). This is geared towards kids in grade 3-6, especially those that are participating in Name That Book. Signups are not required. If you have questions, ask Sara!

3. Para los Ninos at ACR and OAK: Storytime presented by the Children's Museum. 1st Friday of the month at ACR from 3:30-4:30 and 2nd Friday of the month at OAK from 3:30-4:30. This program is experimental for us, right now. We'll see how well attended they are, and change the dates/times if necessary.

Thanks for your support and help in promoting these new programs!

Sara
