Our Reading Stars Fiesta was stellar!

We had a fabulous evening – and a huge turnout – for our Reading Stars Fiesta last week. We hosted 41 Peekskill Head Start students and their families. We created art with space stamps, stars, astronauts and planet stickers. We talked about all the cool resources and programs for kids and adults at The Field Library. And then we went on a musical trip to outer space with Flor Bromley! The evening was out of this world!

This program is made possible in part with funds from Westchester Library System’s Family Literacy Mini-Grant Initiative supported by Con Edison.

Thanks to Westchester Library System for all their support, and a special shout out to Stacey Stymiloski and all the fabulous teachers at Peekskill Head Start for visiting the library over the last few weeks! And, of course, thanks to all the families for sharing the evening with us! We hope to see you all back here soon 🙂

There was a lot of creativity, design and problem solving at our most recent Mad Science program. Children built (and decorated) wheels, batons, pyramids and even a bouquet of flowers – all out of rolled up newspapers!

Look like fun? Our next Mad Science is on Thursday, May 23rd at 4 pm!

Twice the fun today!

Join us today (Saturday, April 27) at 12 noon for Fiesta with Flor!

Then stay for Come and Read with Me at 1 pm!

Oakside Reads to the Dogs!

What a fabulous evening! On Tuesday, over 20 students from Oakside had a chance to show off their awesome reading skills to two very appreciative dogs – and their very enthusiastic trainers! Huge thanks to Oakside’s amazing reading team for organizing this program with us.  A shout out to Principal Woodley and the Oakside teachers for helping to spread the word! And a special thank-you to our very dedicated dog teams. We couldn’t do it without you!
