Summer Reading Program and Coloring Contests

The Mad Professor would like to offer his most sincere apologies to those who entered the coloring contests for April and May. No winners were announced because they haven’t been judged yet!
Speaking of coloring contests, this year our Summer Reading Program “Be Creative @ our Library”, has a coloring contest.

Here are links to the program calendar as well as forms to fill out for preschoolers (a) and school age children (b) if you want to enter the Summer Reading Program coloring contest.

There shall be a 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize winner for both age groups, so be sure to try your hand at coloring. Color sheets can be picked up any time at the Gulfport Temporary Library, but Mr Geoff would especially encourage you to be creative by making your very own coloring design.

The Wizard of Oz Discovers the Library!

The Gulfport Temporary Library’s 2009 Summer Reading Program started off with a bang on Saturday 30 May 2009.

At the 2nd annual Summer Reading kick-off at the Lynn Meadows Discovery Center, Mr. Geoff and the other children’s librarians from the Harrison and Jackson library systems got together for craft activities and a play written by Liz Catalano (Margaret Sherry Library) that was a lot of F.U.N. The play, “The Wizard of Oz Discovers the Library”, was based on Frank Baum’s famous novel “The Wizard of Oz”. From left to right: Mr Geoff (Tin Man), Wendy Allard (the Librarian), Dede Wallace (Dorothy), Missy Douglas (Scarecrow), Liz Catalano (Cowardly Lion), Mary Ann Louviere (the Wizard).
