Events



April School Vacation Week

The Library was a bustling place during the April School Vacation as there was a full week of activities with something happening every day.

Monday was storytime expanded to include school aged children.

On Tuesday members of the summer camp committee were available to answer parents' questions.

Wednesday featured the great Lego building contest.  Ten aspiring builders put together their creations which were judged by Sean Dalton and Brooke Halsey from local builder Timberhomes, LLC.  The contestants all won prizes recognizing the special features of their creation.

Thursday featured an encore presentation of the April 5 bluebird house building activity which resulted in a dozen new proud owners of their own birdhouses.

The week was capped off on Friday with a make-your-own-pizza party followed by a very special storytime for school aged kids.  Jack Kruse had them all enthralled as he read from Roald Dahl's Witches.

Thanks to Lynn Roy for organizing the week.

 


Teddy Bear Tea Party

Twenty-one children plus their Moms and Dads enjoyed a Teddy Bears' Party at the Library on Thursday afternoon, February 21. It started with Lynn reading a couple of bear oriented books and then moved on to the Tea Party, complete with carrot sticks, apple slices, tiny sandwiches, cookies, and cider or peppermint tea to drink. The tea was accompanied by a rousing rendition of My Uncle Walter Goes Waltzing with Bears, and The Teddy Bears' Picnic sung by David Hooke and Cheryl Howe.

   

Santa Visits the Library

December 8, 2007, marked the return of Santa Claus for his annual visit to the Vershire Community Library.
Twenty four youngsters and assorted parents all got to the Church-Orr house in time for a delicious pancake breakfast, with Vermont maple syrup (of course), and juice.
Then it was time to welcome Santa, and each kid got a chance to talk to him and share their fondest wishes for Christmas.

Many thanks to Pamela Mainville for organizing the event, Shirley Collins for donating eggs and maple syrup, and to helpers Jean MacDonald, Anna Sykas, Kathy Young, Jeannine Ricker, Lynn Roy, and especially to Santa Claus who was able to schedule our library into his very busy schedule.
