Celebrate the joy of shared reading
October is National Reading Group month, and the Crown Point Community Library offers several book discussion groups for adults and school age children. Whether you're a reading group member, parent, teacher, farmer or business owner, get involved in a book discussion group and celebrate the joy of shared reading.
The Crown Point Community Library has two day time book discussion groups: the “3rd Monday at 1” is a self named group that meets the third Monday of every month at the Crown Point Library at 1:00 p.m.; a group also meets at the Winfield Branch Library on the second Tuesday of the month at 1:00 p.m. A new evening book discussion group will begin in October on the third Thursday of the month at 6:30 p.m. These book groups are facilitated by our Special Services Librarian, Barb Houk. Houk has been facilitating these reading groups for the last twelve years. “It’s the best part of my job!” said Barb Houk. “But the groups are successful because of the readers. Each one brings her own experiences to the book, and it is that diversity that makes the discussions so interesting. The group members also like that it expands our reading experiences, as the selections are often out of our usual book choices.”

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom - Learning ABC's at the Library!
The Crown Point Community Library has launched its fall story time programs with a “letter” theme. Children, participating in the Pre-School Pals story time program, gathered around the tree house to hear letter-themed stories and created a pair of “super- letter- finder” binoculars.
We encourage all parents to get their children involved with our library story time programs. Our programs do more than just encourage “a love of reading.” They offer opportunities for children to develop literacy skills and allow them to participate in activities that enrich the child’s reading experience. Once children are introduced to the library they not only read books, they spend time with books; they browse in the stacks, listen to stories read aloud, as well as use the computer and attend programs. These activities encourage parents to become involved in their child’s reading.
Visit the library today and sign up for a story time program. We have designed four story time programs for all ages: Book Babies is for babies from birth to two years of age and last about 20 minutes; Tot-Time is for children between two and four years of age and last about 30 minutes; Little Listeners is for children four and six years of age and last about 30-45 minutes and Pre-School Pals is for children between three and six years of age and last about 30 minutes. Most of our story time programs require a parent or adult caregiver participation (for Little Listeners parent/caregiver must remain in library) and in addition to stories read aloud children also play games, sing songs and make crafts.
Programs are offered at the Winfield Branch on Tuesdays, September 13 and 20 and at the Crown Point Library on Wednesdays, September 14 and 21, Thursdays, September 15 and 22 and Fridays, September 16 and 23. Registration is required. For more information and a complete schedule of programs please call Paula at 663-0270 or sign up online at http://www.crownpointlibrary.org/.
