"How to be a Hero" is an amazing picture book about a boy who is obsessed with heroes and being published in the newspaper for his courageous acts. After reading all of the fairy tales, he isn't sure how to do it...be a hero. He thinks you have to be brave, strong, and smart....but is that enough? The story's emphasis is about keeping your eyes open and aware so you can be at the right place at the right time. Highlighting the newspaper, the young boy's dream is to be on the front pages of his local gazette. Matt Pedigo, [...]

Fairy tales and folklore have a lot of food reference, from poisoned apples to magic beans.  Kelly Burgess from the UK Cooperative Extension Office is parterning with the library to show cooking and nutrition from specific examples that are found in these tales.

Folklore & mythology go hand in hand.  Here, we will tell tales of mermaids from Atlantis, dragons from Rome, and serpents from the deep.  We will dive into a few creatures, where they originated from, and how they have transferred to recent stories of today.

This virtual program will highlight nursery rhymes and stories that children have heard from birth.  One thing is for sure, no matter how old one gets, they'll always repeat a rhyme.  From simple stanzas, to page long read-alouds, Ms. Amanda will share stories that parents will remember when they were young.  Pure nostalgia! Certain rhymes have been converted to song.  This will be shown as Ms. Amanda sings a few of her favorite tales.  Lastly, children will be shown how to construct simple instruments to help bring their rhymes and stories to life.
