Starlight Stories creates Bilingual story magic!

The Timberglen Friends were pleased to be part of a program that focused on family literacy at the Timberglen Branch. Starlight Stories was held last week Tuesday to a group of families who are committed to reading together to promote literacy. Children's librarians Miss Joanne and Miss Lila read stories in Spanish and English that held the childrens' rapt attention. Families participated in creating a book of The Story of their Family, made together at craft tables, while enjoying refreshments. Each family took home a bilingual book of stories to read together and each child received a book of their own. The branch thanks its sponsors, Target and the Timberglen Branch Library Friends.

Book Sale a Success!


Thanks to everyone to came out to support the Timberglen Friends Book Sale. After many hours of sweat and tears, we had a great turnout for our second book sale. The Town of Addison was kind enough to share their leftover books from their big sale last month and we were able to sell, sell, sell and raise some funds to support programs at the library! We're going to take a little break but you can save the date for the next book sale, which we'll make at least two days, on April 18th and 19th, 2008.
