Pre-School Story Hour Special Events

The Cambridge Public Library is excited to announce two special events coming up during our Tuesday Pre-school Story Hour. Coordinator Betsy Brander has invited the Battenkill Community Services Puppeteers to present a special rendition of the book “Woolbur” by Leslie Helakoski. The Battenkill Community Services Puppeteers presented a puppet show at Christmas which the children and adults at Story Hour truly enjoyed. After the show the Puppeteers and the Story Hour participants will have an opportunity to collaborate while creating their very own puppets. If you are a parent or caregiver of a child who is 5 or under please come see the show on Tuesday May 16 from 10:00-11:00 a.m.

Pre-school Story Hour will also be welcoming local EMTs from the Cambridge Valley Rescue Squad on Tuesday May 23 from 10:00-11:00 a.m. This is a wonderful opportunity for the children to learn about the duties and responsibilities of an EMT and to become familiar with these wonderful volunteers. The children will also be given the chance to see a real ambulance and some of the equipment that the EMTs use when caring for someone with a medical emergency. This will be a very fun and interesting morning for the children and their caregivers.

The Micro-Garden program on April 29th has been rescheduled for Saturday May 13th from 2:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. This will be a fun, free activity for all ages and a perfect opportunity to make your own Mother’s Day gifts. Join us on May 13th for some gardening fun at the library. Please stop by the Cambridge Public Library or call 677-2443 for more information.

The Lego club monthly meeting will be held on May 13th from 5:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m. This is the second Saturday of the month for the month of May as the first Saturday in May is also opening day for all of our local baseball and softball players. Good luck to all of our local teams. The May meeting will focus on creating a Lego maze, from concept drawing to completion. Come join the fun and see if your friends can complete your maze.

 

Join us this Saturday in learning all about cut perennials with Cornell Cooperative Extension’s Master Gardener Debbie Bailey. Debbie will be introducing some unique perennials that will do great in your garden as well as discuss some of the local favorites!
