Flutterby Bits
Fall is in the Air!
Stop – Drop – & Roll!!
Great safety actions to know and remember. Firefighter Simmons made a special visit to
Rhyme time and Story time during October’s Fire Prevention week. Our young participants had the opportunity to
listen to four books read to us by our
guest. We then practiced the Stop, Drop
and Roll procedure and the low belly crawl across the floor. I even got in on some of this action. Good for us all to practice! Of course, the
little ones were much quicker at this (Good for them!).
Jennifer also demonstrated what Firefighters may look like
when they are wearing all their safety gear.
Fantastic opportunity to see the transformation from Jennifer as a real
person to Firefighter Simmons. I am glad
these young readers were able to experience this. It was a little scary, but I do think it
helps to know that under all that safety gear is a really nice person there to
help us should we ever need them. Thanks
Jen!
Wild Wednesday is back November 18th with “Be
A-Maize-D”. This is an after school
program from 3:30 to 5 pm and is most suited for the K-5th graders,
all are welcome.
I am excited to see what is A-Maize-ing in Iowa .
I really do like having the ISU Extension office here presenting
programs. We always have fun and learn a
thing or two.
December may bring a special visitor. He seems to like long
beards and red suits. Keep an eye on the
Library’s calendar for upcoming events.
December makes me think of snow!
Maybe even snowball forts. Many
good things up and coming.
