Puppetry is Happening at Limestone Township Library District

Books can lead us to many different places. They can inspire us to create different art forms using that same material. After all, some of our favorite books have been turned into fantastic movies. Can you say The Lord of the Rings?

 

At Limestone Township Library District, we are creating a different art form with one of our newest books when we have Storytime Puppet Theater on Saturday, January 27 at 11:00 A.M.

 

Mr. William and Ms. Holly will set up the puppet theater and bring out a cast of puppet characters as they tell the story of Fox Has A Problem by Corey R. Tabor. In this story, Fox is trying to free his kite from a tree but every solution he comes up with leads to a bigger problem. Is there a way to solve this problem to everyone’s satisfaction?

 

To find out, you have to come to Storytime Puppet Theater. Register by stopping in at the library. You can also register by phone, or leaving a message on Facebook or Instagram.

Storytime takes place every Wednesday at 10:15 A.M., with Mr. William reading a picture book or two and leading us through a fun craft matching the theme of the book.

Limestone Township Library District Celebrates Shelfie Day

 

Limestone Township Library District Celebrates Shelfie Day

 

Wednesday, January 24 is National Shelfie Day. If you are on Facebook or Instagram, you may see many pictures of people with their favorite book against the backdrop of a bookshelf. You might even see pictures of people using the books turned just so to create an image.

 

Instead of calling it a ‘selfie,’ it’s a ‘shelfie.’

 

According to National Day Calendar, Library Shelfies offer book stores, libraries, schools, and individuals an opportunity to express their reading preferences through a single photograph. 

 

To celebrate this fun day, Limestone Township Library District is asking patrons and members of the community to take a picture of themselves in the library near their favorite author at their place on our bookshelves. When these pictures are posted, they need to include the hashtag #ltld.

 

For each picture that has the hashtag, we will put that person’s name in a drawing for a prize that includes a Lucky Tote Bag, a board game, and microwave popcorn for a fun family night. Pictures must be posted by January 24.

 

We can’t wait to see your shelfies!

 

If you need more information, call us at 815-939-1696.

Storytime takes place every Wednesday at 10:15 A.M., with Mr. William reading a picture book or two and leading us through a fun craft matching the theme of the book.

 

Adults can enjoy The Great Gatsby (2013) starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan on Saturday, January 20 at 11:00 A.M. Watch the movie to see how director Baz Luhrmann created a grand spectacle of this Jazz Age story.

 

Writer's Group will be held on Monday, January 22 at 6:30 P.M. A writer's group is a community of writers who come together to share their work, provide feedback, and support each other in their writing endeavors. It can be a great way to improve your writing skills, get inspiration, and connect with other writers.
