The Library Visits Area Schools In Preparation for Summer Reading

In preparation for Summer Reading at the library the Children's Library Staff visit a myriad of schools and have tour groups visit the library. Here is just a sample of the busy week and a half the library has had.

On Monday, June 7, library staff went to Chestnut Ridge Elementary School in the Churchville Chili School District to talk about the upcoming summer reading program and do storytime. Two large assembly style presentations, containing about 350 students were given.

On Thursday, June 10, two second grade classes from the Florence Brasser School had a field trip to the library.

On Monday, June 14, summer reading presentations were conducted at the St. Pius X School in Chili. This was the first year the library has done outreach to this school and it was extremely successful and well received. The morning was spent visiting individual classrooms from preschool to third grade. About 300 children attended, and fliers were left for the remaining grades that were not visited.

On Tuesday, June 15, staff spent the entire day at the Florence Brasser School in the Gates Chili School District where they received individual classes. Over the course of the day staff saw all of the 350 students at that school from kindergarten to fifth grades.

On Wednesday, June 16, staff performed a monthly storytime at the Childtime Daycare Center in North Chili.
