May is a big month for libraries with Harris County Public Library. We're getting ready for one of our busiest seasons - summer. The 2013 Summer Reading Program for Harris County kicks off in 25 days on Monday, June 3. Freeman Library will start having special Thursday afternoon programs for children in 28 days on Thursday, June 6.
The "Lucky Ladybugs" program scheduled for 4:30 pm has been postponed. However, we will have a ladybug craft program in its place. This afterschool program is recommended for children from 5-12 years old. Tickets are required. They are free and available at the Kids Information Desk starting 30 minutes before the program. For questions, please call 281-488-1906.
Ellen Hutto of Saltgrass Science will talk about ladybugs on Monday, May 6 at 4:30 pm. This program is recommended for children 5-12 years old. The children will learn about ladybugs and how to spot them in the yard. Each child will get a few ladybugs to release in their neighborhood. Space is limited and tickets are required. They are free and available at the Kids Information Desk starting 30 minutes before the program.
May is block month around the Children's Department at Freeman Library. Children are invited to build something with our wooden blocks. We have a shelf filled with blocks of all shapes and sizes. They will be out through the month of May. In June, we will bring back a puppet stage with hand puppets. Each month we rotate the puppet stage and the blocks. These two creative outlets have been a great hit at Freeman Library. They are two of the many fun and educational items made possible through the generous donations of the Friends of Freeman Library.
Information for Persons with Disabilities: Harris County Public Library will make reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities who are interested in attending library programs. To make a request for yourself or someone you know, please notify the Branch Librarian two working days in advance of the program.
