Alliance – Story Time resumes in March on Tuesdays at 10 a.m. and Thursdays at 1 p.m. for children ages 3-6 years at the Alliance Public Library.
Our featured themes: Dynamic Dr. Seuss (March 2 and 4), Nebraska, Our Home (March 9 and 11), St. Patrick’s Day (March 16 and 18) and Music Maestros (March 23 and 25) with several books to share, rhythm music, birthdays and crafts.
We also have Story Time Read-a-long videos produced by Alliance Public Library staff, available on our website at https://libraries.ne.gov/alliance/services/childrenandyouth/story-time-read-a-long/ -- our website and Facebook page contain a wealth of knowledge with available resources, programs, contests and more!
March 1-17 during library hours will be a Search for Lucky Dog with children through second grade.
When they find Lucky and bring him to the Circulation Desk, they will receive a prize.
Children through third grade can participate in “Read Across America” featuring our Dr. Seuss collection which continues through March 31 with reading and coloring contests.
Grades 4-8 can participate in “Read Your Way Across the USA” which they can begin and finish at any time.
“Youth Art Month” will be celebrated for youth through age 17 by reading any YA book, then creating an art/craft project based upon the book or writing their thoughts about the book with at least 250 words.
Those who participate in “Youth Art Month” at the library will have their name entered in a drawing for one $50 gift certificate to Steph’s Studio.
The library is also hosting a “Winter Blues” contest for adult patrons.
If a patron checks out a book with the word “Blue” in the title, they can sign up to win a $15 Starbucks gift card.
The contest runs February 16th- March 12th, with a drawing every Friday at 3:00 p.m.
We have a display table of books with the word “Blue” in the title to make the selection easier.
For these contests, books need to be checked out from the Alliance Public Library.
Many thanks to the Alliance Public Library Foundation for providing all of our prizes!
