The Local Skinny! Youth Programs Happening Perry Memorial Library

/by

 

Chocolate fondue. Sewing on a button. Legos.

Not necessarily what you’d associate with a library.

But Melody Peters, youth services director at Perry Memorial Library says all these things – and more – are available for library patrons.

From Mother Goose Story Time on Thursday mornings to Life Hacks sessions, Peters said the library offers something for everyone.

“We use every square inch” of the library, she said. “It’s wonderful.”

The Legos club meets on Thursdays at 4:30 p.m. The Survival Skills class helps participants with things like sewing on a button.

Take the recent Survival Skills session that focused on sewing on a button. One participant took the new-found knowledge and said she was going to go home and sew the hole in her bunny. And not only that, she’d be able to sew the hole in her blanket and even the hole in her mom’s coat. Now that’s a survival skill, taken to the next level.

The library has its own spaces to hold classes like the Survival Skills class, but the adjacent Farm Bureau Room also is a space that community groups can reserve.

“It is certainly a gift to have a room accessible to the community for different programs,” Peters said.  “It’s amazing,” Peters said, of the community space.

Read-a-Thon at Perry Memorial Library

/by

One of the most important missions of the Perry Library Youth Department is to promote early literacy within the library through programming and information distribution and to partner with community organizations with similar goals.  To that end, the library is holding a Read-a-Thon in cooperation with FGV Smart Start.  The theme of the Read-a-Thon will be:  “Read for the Youngest Readers”.  All proceeds from the Read-a-Thon will go the Dolly Parton Imagination Library program which provides age appropriate books, one per month, to children ages 0-5 years.

We are looking for community organizations and local businesses that would be willing pledge donations based upon the number of hours read during our Read-a-Thon.  The Read-a-Thon will take place at Perry Memorial Library on Monday, February 15th from 12:00 pm until 8:00 pm.  Any and all members of the community ages 1 to 100 are encouraged to read for this cause.  The total number of hours read by all who come to the library will be the basis for any pledges we receive.  The names of all businesses or organizations pledging their support for the Read-a-Thon will be publicized so that the community will know who to thank.

If you would like more information about the Read-a-Thon, or would like to give a pledge of support, please contact Angie Bates at abates@perrylibrary.org or 252-438-3316 (ext 225).  If you would like more information about the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, please contact Gary Daeke, Development Coordinator of Smart Start, at gdaeke@vance.net or 252-433-9110 (ext 227).
