Registration begins today for a weekly program being offered by the North Bellmore Librarywhere children can enjoy some good, old fashioned storytelling.
At this program that runs through mid-August, children can also make crafts, watch movies and take part age-appropriate activities. Librarian Christina Pesiri said there are over 30 programs available throughout the summer. This gives children from toddlers to elementary schoolers a chance to enjoy the library and its resources.
The four age groups are broken down into toddlers (ages 1-3), where parents attend the storytime program with their children, pre-schoolers (ages 3-5), which offers more activities such as sing alongs and crafts and school-aged children (ages 5-8), where kids can enjoy Summertales with Mr. B. In the last program, Library Director Tom Bazzicalupo, or Mr. B dedicates time each week to encourage reading aloud and show and tell. At the end of summer, he asks the children to bring in jokes to be incorporated into a joke book that each child can bring home and enjoy.
The tween program for children from grades 4 and up separates older children to make them feel more independent. They tackle more advanced books and crafts and participate in discussions and a forensic program.
Librarians Christina Pesiri and Jane Sullivan want all children and parents to know the resources that are open to them, so they can take advantage of all that is offered.
