Notes From Nubi - Eat A Red Apple Day

One of my favorite fruits is apples.  And when Mom learned that Saturday is "Eat A Red Apple Day" she thought it would be a good theme for our Saturday READ Jr. Tail Time.  She said it was a very good day to tell stories about apples anyway because that's the night that Santa Claus is coming to North Judson and, just like him, a lot of apples wear red "suits."

So we've got apple stories, apple coloring pages, and a craft - but Mom says the craft has nothing to do with apples, except we will be using the color red.   I'm looking forward to seeing you here at the library at 11 a.m. this Saturday.  Hey, maybe we should all wear red just like apples and Santa Claus!

(Here's a picture of me from last year guarding the Angel Tree.  My Aunt Sue got me the suit but it was a little too small.)

Notes from Nubi - 11/3 READ Jr. Tail Time

Mom is actually on the ball and preparing for our next READ JR.Tail Time.  She's been looking for books about people who like books and like to read and tell stories.

I hope you can join us on November 3rd, we'll be meeting at 11 a.m. to color pages and Tail Time will start soon after.  Oh, Mom promised to take some pictures of the crafts the kids make this time, I told her she had to show how creative my friends are.

See you then.

Local Children's Author to do Book Signing

On Saturday, April 17th, local author Ingrid Odenthal will be reading her book "The Warm Heart" at the North Judson-Wayne Township Library as part of our National Library Week celebration.

The reading will take place at 11:15 a.m. as part of READ Fur Me, Jr. and afterwards Mrs. Odenthal will be available until 2 p.m. to sign copies of her book.

READ Fur Me, Jr.

Hooowdy, my name is Anubis and I would like to share some of my favorite books with you.

Starting in September I will be part of a new program for dog lovers from preschool through 2nd grade called “READ Fur Me, Jr.”

Join me at the North Judson-Wayne Township Library on the 1st & 3rd Saturday of each month at 11 a.m. I’ve arranged for someone to read you some of the books I have enjoyed as part of the regular “READ Fur Me” program.

Be sure you sign up so we can keep track of how many sessions you attend. When all the spaces on your card have been punched by the staff, you’ll get to pick something out of the treat drawer and my mommy promises there won’t be any old bones.

At least, there won’t be any old bones for you!!!
