I love the translation of the Lego brand name “Let’s Play” and thought it would be a perfect title for this new program. Let’s Play isn’t just about legos though, sometimes we will be gardening in our flower gardens or in our vegetable garden. Other times the activities will be STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art & Math).

Discuss Confessions by Kanae Manato
Narrated in alternating voices, with twists you’ll never see coming, Confessions probes the limits of punishment, despair, and tragic love, culminating in a harrowing confrontation between teacher and student that will place the occupants of an entire school in danger. You’ll never look at a classroom the same way again.

Storytime

We are having a garden party during this week’s story time on Thursday, August 12th at 10:30 a.m. to revisit the journey you and your garden took these last few months with Pick, Pull, Snap Where Once A Flower Bloomed by Lola M Schaefer. We have a lot of exploring to do during this week’s story time while we tour the various gardens at the Dundee Library. Be on the lookout for blueberry, black raspberry, peppers, onions, and a variety of flowering plants that were purchased and planted by the DCS T.R.A.I.L.S. program this past Spring!

Aspiring Chefs
2021-08-12 16:00 - 17:00
Aspiring Chefs is back this week with Bread in a Bag on Thursday, August 12th at 4 p.m.! The entire bread making process is completed in a bag with the exception of baking the bread in a pan. I know we have had several aspiring chefs activities that have revolved around preparing food in a bag since resuming Aspiring Chefs in person. I chose these activities to be socially responsible and to allow participants to distance from other participants and to work only on the food they were going to consume, to simplify program prep, and to give the kids a sense of independence and self-worth. My program choices may have also have been influenced by a bit of nostalgia. Does anyone remember a coffee cake kit in the early 80’s and 90’s that was mixed in a bag, poured into a foil pan, and sprinkled with a packet of streusel and could be baked in a toaster oven? The first person to reply with the correct answer to the Dundee Library 607-243-5938 this trivia question will receive a small prize!
