INVITATION If you are a dreamer, come in.
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer . . .
If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire,
For we have some flax golden tales to spin.
Come in! Come in!
Shel Silverstein Where the Sidewalk Ends
You will find this outside the front door to the library in honor of National Poetry Month. Come draw on our sidewalks or write your own poem!!!!
Inaugurated by the Academy of American Poets in 1996, National Poetry Month is now held every April, when publishers, booksellers, literary organizations, libraries, schools and poets around the country band together to celebrate poetry and its vital place in American culture.
The Liberty Hill Public Library is in the planning stages of our Summer Reading Program and is seeking help! Our theme this year is “Dig up a good book!” One program we are planning is a LARGE EQUIPMENT PETTING ZOO….this means the BIG trucks. We are looking for people who have the large trucks to bring them to the library for the program, let the kids explore the trucks, and answer the kids questions. If you have access or own a piece of large equipment we would LOVE to hear from you.
Due to drastically decreased revenue over the past years, we have no funding for summer reading this year and are asking for donations to make it happen. If you are willing to give of your time, money, talents or goods, we would love to hear from you.
Our WISH LIST for the program :
Large equipment as listed above
Summer Reading Volunteers that LOVE working with kids and are enthusiastic
Craft talent - to do samples of crafts, paint library doors, lead crafts
Donations of snacks/drinks for programs
Coupon/prize donations from local businesses
Craft supplies, list will be available in library
Monetary donations to run program
If you haven’t been by the library lately, we invite you to stop in. Remember, we are your FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY, there is no cost to join and you might just be surprised at what we have for you. Come in and pick up the latest book releases, a Wii game to try out, the hottest box office movies. Yes, FREE!
Storytime this last week, beautiful weather, a bucketful of chalk. Miss Sandy CANNOT resist mixing those all together. Here you see what happened when the chalk bucket was grabbed and the kiddos rounded up and herded outside. Miss Sandy poses Gage on the ground and proceeds to outline him so that he can create his own person. Not to be outdone, Gage then proclaims it's HIS turn and has to outline Miss Sandy on the ground as well. 
Look at that....Donnie Caseltine in a Liberty Hill Public Library t-shirt in Washington, DC. Way to go Donnie! Proudly showing support and promoting Liberty Hill even on vacation.
