Discover a world of possibilities during Willard's Winter Reading Challenge. Preschoolers through fifth graders are invited to pick up an activity card each month, read, complete the challenges, and return the completed card for a prize. Each month--January, February, and March--will have a new card with a different theme. The January theme is cooking. Stop by to meet Sasha, the Gentle Black Lab, and her owner, Karen Slack. Grab your favorite book or a new one and spend some time reading to Willard's favorite furry friend. Sasha is a certified PAWS assistance dog who enjoys listening to stories. Reading to a dog helps children gain confidence in reading aloud.
Take a journey with storyteller Judy Sima as she recounts her mother's journey from an encounter with the Gestapo on Kristallnacht to her escape from Germany and adjustment to a new life in America. The audience also will have a chance to share memories of their own parents. Sima's programs are guaranteed to be filled with smiles, laughter, and maybe even a few tears. The program, which is geared for middle and high school students and their families, is co-sponsored by Willard Library and Lakeview High School Library. Everyone in the community is welcome.
