Story Time 2/12

These Story Time pictures were taken on Feb. 15, 2012. The children enjoyed stories and a Valentine bear craft.

Artist Showcase

The library features an artist with local ties during the 2nd weekend of each month. The Community Room is turned into a gallery with display panels which were purchased through a grant from the Buchanan County Community Foundation. See events on the right-hand side to find out what artist is next!

I Love IPTV Drawings

Dan Wardell, of IPTV's Kids Clubhouse, goes on a Reading Road Trip to libraries around the state every summer. He has many, many requests and can't go to all the libraries. We are hoping that Dan might come to Independence this summer, so several students drew pictures of Dan doing something wacky at our library. One of these is also posted on the IPTV Kids Clubhouse Facebook Page!

Staff Development Day

January 16th the library closed to have staff development. We learned about ebooks and ereaders, online databases, Universal Class, and did a new website scavenger hunt. It was a great day and we learned a lot!

Minute to Win It

In late December of 2011, kids participated in a library Minute to Win It event. They did all kinds of wacky challenges, trying to complete them in just one minute!

Wii Wednesday

The second school early out of each month, the library offer Wii Wednesday. Kids in grades 3-8 have a great time playing Wii games. The fun begins at 1:30 pm.

Santa Make 'n' Take

Santa came to the library in December! Kids were able to talk to Santa and make festive crafts for Christmas. Santa gave each child a book to take home!
