What’s New in July?

Our Summer Reading Program officially started last week. To sign up, print out reading journals, and read about our upcoming events, go to https://www.creswell-library.org/summer-reading-program-2023. Please make sure to bring blankets to sit on for the magic show on July 26th. 

Thursday Storytime will be held at Holt Park at 11am to coincide with free lunch at 11:30.  Please bring blankets as the grass can be a bit wet in the morning.  If the Air Quality Index (API) reaches 151 or above, we will move Storytime inside for that day.

PreK Storytime - Thursdays at 11:00am at Holt Park

Join us for fun books, songs, and rhymes!! This storytime is intended for children in preschool but all kids and their families are welcome to join. We shoot for about 30 minutes of fun but sometimes we go a little long and sometimes just a tad short. Afterward, we will all do a fun craft. Starting June 22nd, storytime will be held at Holt Park. We will not do crafts afterward. 

Babytime  – Tuesdays at 10:00am in the Creswell Library 

Join us on Tuesdays for songs, fingerplays, lap bounces, scarves, egg shakers, stories, and bubbles! This storytime is 20 minutes long so we can wrap up before the littlest get too squirmy.

Pajamarama Storytime – July 11th and 25th at 6:15pm

Come dressed in your pajamas and bring your stuffies for this storytime. This storytime is a fun event for all ages and will have songs, rhymes, and picture books. 

May Reads for June Book Club

Book Club for Kids will meet to chat about "The Wild Robot" on 7/5 at 4pm via Zoom. Our next book is "When You Trap a Tiger".  We will chat about this fantastical OBOB book on 8/2 at 4pm.  Read more about the book from the publisher.

Would you make a deal with a magical tiger? This uplifting story brings Korean folklore to life as a girl goes on a quest to unlock the power of stories and save her grandmother.
Some stories refuse to stay bottled up...
When Lily and her family move in with her sick grandmother, a magical tiger straight out of her halmoni's Korean folktales arrives, prompting Lily to unravel a secret family history. Long, long ago, Halmoni stole something from the tigers. Now they want it back. And when one of the tigers approaches Lily with a deal--return what her grandmother stole in exchange for Halmoni's health--Lily is tempted to agree. But deals with tigers are never what they seem! With the help of her sister and her new friend Ricky, Lily must find her voice...and the courage to face a tiger..
