Suggested Family Activities: Story Times

Join us here LIVE at 2PM today for Virtual Story Time!  Our Library Director, Dee Hare, will be reading Duck on a Tractor by David Shannon

Have you checked out any of our Summer Reading Program Story Times yet?  Various NERL staff are reading (either live or through recordings) lots of animals books this summer – one per day!  “Farm Tale” recordings already available include Leigh Hood reading Hensel & Gretel: Ninja Chicks by Corey Rosen Swart, Cody Daniel reading Mo Willems’ I’m a Frog, Sandy Donahue reading No Sleep for the Sheep by Karen Beaumont, and Eric Melton reading Rooster Can’t Cock-a-Doodle-Doo by Karen Rostocker-Gruber.  Due to publishers’ restrictions, some recorded titles will only be accessible through June 30, while others will remain on the website until the end of July.  Upcoming LIVE events include Dee Hare reading Duck on a Tractor by David Shannon at 2:00 p.m. today and Sandy Donahue reading Chick n Pug by Jennifer Gordon Sattler at 2:00 tomorrow, June 25.  Then on June 26, a recording of Gwen Spain’s rendition of Click, Clack, SURPRISE! by Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin will be posted to finish the week. To view the recordings and live events, check our website at www.nereg.lib.ms.us

Your local library branches also have lots of fun picture books for you to read “Farm Tales” on your own.  Check out The Little Read Hen by Nora Sheehan, James Dean’s popular character Pete the Cat doing his version of Old MacDonald Had a Farm, Margaret Hillert’s version of The Three Little Pigs or The Cow that Got Her Wish.
