Disability Day

Amy Rakoczy and her client, Elizabeth of Pathfinders Services of Huntington came to visit the Roanoke Public Library Story Time on Tuesday March 6, 2012 to celebrate Disability Day.  Amy talked to the children about differences and that people who may seem different from us are actually quite similar.  Elizabeth gave each of the children a bookmark.  After the talk, Karen Baker, Library Assistant read the children some books on disability and then the children did a craft of stringing beads on pipe cleaners creating a bracelet. Six special beads of different colors were added to represent the differences in people, but that we are all basically the same.

Don't forget that the Roanoke Public Library has story time for preschoolers on Tuesdays at 10 am.  Here is a calendar of what we will be celebrating each Tuesday in March.

Preschoolers visit the fire station

Last Tuesday, the preschooler at our reading program got a real treat when Brandon Taylor visited and took them on a trip to the fire station.  The children were able to into the fire truck, honk the horn and get into an ambulance. They heard all about firemen, fire safety, and people who protect them.  The kids had a great time and learned some valuable lessons.  Thanks, Brandon, you did a great job!!! 

Christmas in the Village

Santa came to visit Roanoke riding on the town's fire truck.  Children were able to visit with him have cookies and hot chocolate provided by the Lions.  They were also invited into the Library for games and hearing a book being read.
