Get Buggy!

Wow! It's been a wild week here at the library. The Summer Reading Program has started and hundreds of kids have been visiting us. We even had Gordon Russ the magician here on Tuesday! He was great!

Catch the Reading Bug! What a great idea! We love catching bugs. And a reading bug must extra tasty! Oh, we don't eat reading bugs, you say? Well, maybe we'd better just settle in with a good book then. We promise not to leave any tooth marks.

Looking for something more than just great books at the library? Check out all of the other fun stuff we're doing at all of the Dearborn Libraries. Here at Henry Ford Centennial we have praying manitids, little baby praying mantises. They're really cool. Over at Esper Branch, Mrs. Patty has a butterfly pavillion. And don't forget crafts everywhere!

Well, we should run. Make sure you come and visit us really soon. We proimise not to bug you too much!

We're back and blogging

After a very long break...I'll bet you didn't know that bears could sleep so long!...we've decided to write again. Summer is here. Okay, not according to the calendar, but Mother Nature isn't one to follow the calendar. It's hot! School's out! And that means? Come on, you know! Summer Reading Program! We're gearing up for another fun summer filled with books, crafts, activities and BUGS! That's right, BUGS! The theme for this summer's program is "Catch the Reading Bug!" So get ready for all things buggy.

Oh and in case you didn't know, our home at Henry Ford Centennial Library got a re-do this year. Check it out! We guess they thought we missed the forest. It was pretty sweet of the Library Foundation to think of us bears. Stop on by for a visit.
