TALES OF WONDER

The Library  encourages children to become more familiar with fairy and folk tales. Children hear many of these tales here, and we hope that children will read and hear them at home. It is important for children to know the tales important to their culture, to know those from other cultures and to simply enjoy the stories that have interested people for hundreds of years. 

High up in the Library is a giant  with his harp, hen that laid golden eggs, and a treasure of books. Jack in the Beanstalk is enjoying the books too!

We  perform puppet plays of fairy and folk tales during Library times and sometimes let children use puppets to make stories come alive.

"If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales."

"When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than any talent for abstract, positive thinking."

Albert Einstein, Scientist

"If you see the magic in a fairy tale, you can face the future."
