September brought lots of fun in the Junior Department.  Check out these great programs...

Talk Like a Pirate Day

Aargh!

Pirate siblings

We started off "Talk Like a Pirate Day" with these great stories: There was an Old Pirate who Swallowed a Fish by Jennifer Ward and A Pirate's Guide to Recess by James Preller.

Then we sang some pirate songs, made pirate eye patches, and planted our pirate flags in some tasty cupcakes made by Ms. Sermons.

Where's Waldo? Birthday Celebration

Ms. Lieberman & Ms. Cogdell

September also brought a celebration of Where's Waldo.  Throughout the week of September 16 our young patrons searched for Waldo and his friends throughout the library. 

On Friday, September 20 we created our own Where's Waldo puzzles and binoculars.

Where's Waldo Scavenger Hunt Clue #1

Today, as of 1pm, starts our week-long Where's Waldo? scavenger hunt! Every day this week, we will be hiding a different Where's Waldo? character around the library. Pick up your scavenger hunt game piece bookmark, which has information about our program, as well as the game board on the back. Every day, we will be posting a different clue on our blog. You can also read the clues at the Junior Reference desk. Once you find Waldo, tell a Junior Department staff member. You will get a little prize each time you find him and we will stamp your bookmark. Bring your completed bookmark this Friday @ 4pm for our Where's Waldo? birthday celebration for a chance to win a raffle! And remember, when you find a Waldo character, keep it a secret so other people can find them on their own.

Here's the first clue:

Drop off books and check them out. A special card is needed here without a doubt!

READING ROCKS!

This summer we had a blast in the EOPL Junior Department! We encouraged children to "Dig into Reading" with weekly crafts, stories, movies, and other fun activities.  In addition to all the fun activities, participants read over 2,000 books!

Like us on Facebook, East Orange Public Library, to check out more photos from this year's Summer Reading Program.

Let us know how much fun you had at the library this summer.
