ALL IN-LIBRARY & OUTREACH PROGRAMS ARE CANCELLED. Mr. Jason, Mr. Derek, and the rest of the staff are working on remote/virtual programs. They will be found here:
Fridays 2-5pm: Board Gaming Online--Even though the library is closed, the board gaming can't be stopped! Using a free online recourse called Tabletopia, Mr. Derek will run a game for those interested. Each week, a different game will be played from the catalgoue offered by Tabletopia. There are a number of them that we have played in the library which are available, including Castle Panic and Dragon Racer. This is a registration required event, because the limit on players for most games precludes us from hosting too many. The game chosen will be based on the number and ages of those registered.
Green Screen Challenge: Email Mr. Jason a picture, drawing, etc. made by you or your kids that you want Mr. Jason to be in! He brought the green screen home and has an app to use to take your images and put them on the green screen and put him IN them! micsd@delcolibraries.org

Illustrate Mr. Jason's Book!
Put Your Things Back!
Mr. Jason has written an easy book with a lesson about the importance of putting things back when we are done with them. The only problem is...he didn't draw any pictures! Can you help him and provide as many pages of illustrations as you can for his book? Print out the pages and have you and/or your kids illustrate them, or write the text yourself on a blank sheet of paper and illustrate the page, then take pictures of your work and email it back to him. He'll compile all of the submissions to make a community picture book that he'll include in a future Digital Story Time.

In Dire Need of Books?

A couple years ago local Eagle Scout, Harrison Fink, made 2 giant Free Library Boxes and installed them in the community. Our Friends group supplied both boxes with FREE books. Stop by the front of the Roosevelt Community Center (future library home) or the back, lower parking lot of the Rocky Run YMCA to take a book and/or leave a book! There are books for a variety of ages.
Ridley Creek also has a Free Library Box! Bittersweet Kitchen in downtown Media has one (West Fourth Street) There is one on the corner of Linda Lane & Nelson Drive in Knowltonwood. Know of any other Free Library Box locations? Let us know so we can share with everyone. Please exercise caution when dropping off or picking up books from these Free Library Boxes. (i.e. Wash/Sanitize your Hands!) |
