Noodles, Forts, Wii and Flying!

There is never a dull Moment! 

I had a great time Monday evening with flying noodles and the ISU Extension Office “Health Hearty Snacks” program.

The ISU Extension office has been presenting “Adventures in Nature” programming on the second Monday evening of the month in the Community Room.

The last one was on “Health Hearty Snacks”.  It involved plenty of eye opening information on portion control, snack/sugar content and the unusual activity of flinging a wet noodle!  (Food Fight!)  It was not the norm per program….but you never know. 

It has been a great experience to be teaming up with these women.  The programs are open to children of all ages, but the activities are geared to those in grades K-5.  The next program is March 9^th at 6 pm.  There won’t be any noodles, but eagles will be the topic!

Friday Feb 20, from 5-7 PM, after hours, we will have Family Fort night.  Bring the blankets, sheets, and pillows to build your own family fort.  I’ve never had the experience of having my own fort in the library!  Not many can say that they have.  Now will be your chance!

Wii Games in the Community Room are on Feb 23 from 1-4 pm.  This is on a no school Monday, and all ages are welcome.  Form teams, have mini-tournaments and bring your friends.  I had the opportunity to try Wii dancing one afternoon – what a sight!  It is great fun and demands plenty of energy.

Flying?  Sure.  The summer reading program is in the works.  “Every Hero has a Story” is the theme this summer.  We are all heroes, flying or not.   Plenty of fantastic programming is planned for Summer 2015.  (Dan Wardell will be here to see us!) Watch for further information.

I am more than a little excited! 

Noodles, games, flying & forts can all be found at the Library. 

Check it during “Love your Library month!”

See you soon
