Great Gaming Day

Today was day three of our winter break activities.  Tuesday and Wednesday were disappointing since we had very few people at our scheduled activities.  Today was gaming day with making games this morning using recycleables and file folder games for elementary students and this afternoon gaming for older kids using Wii or board games. We had a great turn out.  Families worked together making and playing games.  We have no idea why todays program was more successful than the other ones but hope that tomorrows activities, showing teens how to make Movie Maker Videos and having Teen Coffee House performers will be just as successful.  I have created how to sheets to assist those who don't know how to use the program yet.  We are going to create videos for the You Are Here contest for the Summer Reading Program.  Weather permitting, we hope to  have another good turnout.  Several bands and individuals are scheduled to perform at the Teen Coffee house.  We also are showing the video MegaMind on Saturday to end our week of activities.  Many people don't take advantage of the programs we are offering at the library.  It's frustrating.  Besides the chilren's programing this week, we have had a Battle of the Books practice and a book club meeting.
