Get Ready for Fall!


Have you gone into programming withdrawal since Summer Reading ended? Never fear, at Emmet O'Neal we are starting our regular programs again next week! Once again you can participate in a wide variety of exciting, entertaining, and educational programs for all ages! There are superb storytimes for the little guys (and big guys too!), and awesome activities for the older kids as well. For a schedule of events, come to the Children's Department and pick up a calendar, or visit our website and view the calendar there.

Among the cool stuff planned for the 3rd-6th graders is the much-anticipated return of Dig-It! The first session will be at 3:30 on Thursday, September 6th, when we will kick off the fall with a rousing round of Bingo for prizes! Don't miss it! Each week Dig-It (which stands, as you must know, for Daring Inventive Ginormously Interesting Thursdays) features something different--a movie and popcorn follows Bingo, then board games, and a special speaker or activity. September's movie on the 13th is a cool flick about a certain teen spy, and the special event will feature origami and paper airplanes.

Many of you already know about and participate in Dis-A-Book: Emmet O'Neal Library's book discussion club for 4th-6th graders, where we talk about a new book each month, eat pizza, and collect patches. But did you know that the library also offers a computer class that can help you with homework difficulties? Kids & Komputers gives you handy tips for using Google and the library's website, online catalog, and databases. This is the sort of information that can really give you an edge when working on reports and projects! If you're in 3rd-6th grade, call 879-0497 to sign up for the September 12th or October 22nd sessions today! Space is limited.
