Library Happenings

1. Read or listen to Millie Fleur’s Poison Garden by Christy Mandin.

2. Make your own ‘wonderfully weird’ flower or plant at home to add to the Donald Library Poison Garden! Be creative! No real flowers or plants! Use paper, pipe cleaners, googly eyes, straws, tissue paper, etc.

3. Discuss these questions with a family member while creating your own poison garden flower or plant.

a. Sometimes, we meet people who are different from us. Just like Millie Fleur’s garden, their differences might seem unusual at first, but that’s what makes them special! How can you show

kindness to someone who has a different interest, looks different, or acts differently than you?

b. What is something that makes you different from others?

c. How does this unique trait make you special?

4. Bring your flower or plant to Ms. Hoffman in the Library any time during the month of October! Have fun!

Designed to blend fact with story, this is a high-energy & fun STEAM-focused storytime designed for 5-9 year-olds. We'll read a science-, tech-, engineering-, art-, or math-themed story, conduct experiments, and have a learning launch hands-on activity to extend imaginative thinking. Caregivers should plan to stay in the room with their child.

To keep group size optimal, this a ticketed program. Please stop by the youth desk on your way in to get your free ticket before heading to the storytime room.

This program uses the LEGO Education Spike Essential Set. Caregivers should plan to stay in the program with their student in second grade and lower. This program is not suitable for children under 5.
