The 2010 Waterford Library T-Ball Team

Last night, the Waterford Public Library T-Ball team visited the library to celebrate a lively and fun season.  They enjoyed a quick story time followed by some popsicles before presenting the library with a handmade card and photo plaque from the team.

They have one more game this Saturday, June 12 @ 10:am at Garrett Field.

The library is pleased to once again be able to sponsor a Waterford Youth Baseball team this spring.  We got a young squad this year, but we’re hearing good things about their progress on the diamond. And win or lose we look forward to welcoming them here to the library for a celebration of their season on June 11th. Next game is Tuesday May 25th!

But please plan to join us this afternoon, for a showing of the Disney animated classic, “Alice in Wonderland”. Showtime is 2pm and admission is free. Snacks will be available.

We debut a revamped storytime schedule beginning tomorrow morning at 10: 30am. The first and third Fridays of the month will be devoted to toddlers, ages 18-36 months. No registration is required, so please help us spread the word!

Beginning in February, we will be offering new days and times for story-times here at the library. On the second and fourth Tuesday of the month, we will have a “lap-sit” program for parents and children 6-18 months of age. On the first and third Friday of the month we will have a toddler story-time for children ages 18-36 months. Both programs will begin at 10:30am and last about 30 minutes. No reservations are necessary and parents and children residing outside Waterford are also welcome. For more information please call Liz Liddington at the library.

Lots of fun pre-trick or treat activities for children will be taking place here at the library in the next few days.  It all begins tomorrow evening at 6:30pm when we will be showing “The Scary Godmother” movie. On Friday Oct. 30th, dress in your Halloween costume and join us for story-time at 10am. Also on Friday, beginning at 3pm, we will be making SLIME! Finally on Halloween Day, from 12-3pm, come by for a Halloween Candle Craft program that’s sure to make trick or treating later extra special. All events are free. Please contact Liz for additional info at 237-0891.

We are pleased to announce the return of a regular story-time at the library.  It will take place on Fridays at the following times, 10am, Noon, 2pm and 4pm. Each session will last about 30-40 minutes. Sign-ups are NOT required, so last minute drop ins are encouraged! Liz, our youth services librarian, welcomes both parental participation and input.    So plan to join us beginning this Friday for stories and more! Questions or suggestions should be directed to Liz, by calling 237-0891.
