Keeping Up With Kids

Thanks to Marge Loch Wouters over at Tiny Tips for Library Fun for the suggestion of checking out Ten Favorite Baby Storytime Plans from Melissa Depper’s Mel’s Desk blog.  Mel’s Desk has all sorts of other excellent posts about storytime for the younger set, including a recent series about using music!  Take a peek.

IFLS librarians: remember that we have a few kits that might help you with baby storytimes, too.  We have a few large motor skills kits, with things like beanbags, parachutes, instruments, and more.  In addition, I have purchased 10-copy board-book sets of 3 titles:  I Went Walking by Sue Williams and Julie Vivas; Moo, Baa, La La La by Sandra Boynton and Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See by Bill Martin and Eric Carle.  To borrow these kits, contact me:  langby @ ifls.lib.wi.us
