Rainy Day fun in the library!

We are so excited to finally be getting some rain here in Franklin County!!!  We are hoping this is a sign that we are finally ending this hot, dry summer!

If you're not sure how to spend this rainy day, here are some fun ways to spend it in the library!

1. Look for the biggest book in the library. Take your picture with it.
2. Browse the travel section, find a place you want to visit, make some plans.
3. Go to the cookbook area, choose a recipe, go the store, get the ingredients and cook it that day.
4. Everyone find a poem, read it out loud and then copy it into your journal.
5. Bring paper and colored pencils. Draw from the easy I-Can-Draw-Books for an hour.
6. Leave a thoughtful review on a post-it note in a book you really loved.
7. Find out what services your library offers.
8. Have a meeting, writer’s group, books club, homeschool co op, adventure planning committee at the library.
9. Make a list of suggested books and media for your library to buy. Make the library YOUR library.
10. Arrange a library tour.
11. Browse books on the flora and fauna of your area. Learn to identify something new.
12. Check out the corresponding children’s or adult section to your favorite area (reptiles, art, mystery…)
13. Read a biography from the children’s sections on someone you know very little about.
14. Find a baby name book, make a list of funny name combinations, choose a new name for the day.
15. Hunt for authors with your same last name.

Come on in!  We'd love to see you!
