If you want to use a laptop or tablet, the library does have wireless access, but you will need to get a library card, and a parent will have to sign a permission form for you to use the internet in the library.

The theme for the 2011 Summer Reading Program at New York State libraries is, “One World, Many Stories.” We will be highlighting the variety of people and cultures around the world. You can help!

Have you taken a wonderful vacation? Do you have an international collection? Does your family have a fascinating heritage?

Mary Conable is looking for people who would be willing to share their world stories with others at the library.

Some ideas:

Share your best vacation stories and pictures at an adult program.

Share your collection by placing it in the display case.

Come talk to a children’s program about your trip to another country.

Share with children or adults how you keep your heritage alive with cooking, crafts, and stories.

Contact Mary at the library, 786-5650 or by email at mconable@pls-net.org. She would love to hear from you!

Discover More

2011-03-14T14:25:00.000-07:00

In the next few weeks, a discovery center will be set up, next to the parenting collection, downstairs at the library. The center will display a challenge each week that you can tackle with your child. It will highlight math and science concepts for preschool and elementary-aged students. We hope this will spark some interesting ideas and questions. Of course, there will always be related books on display for you to take home and explore with your family. Adding activities to your library visit is one way to encourage curiosity and exploration for everyone.

According to the dictionary, cozy means warm and comfortable, probably of Scandinavian origin. With their long winter nights, Scandinavians should know about comfort. Come to the library where it’s warm (we hope) and cozy to find a book to take home.

Children's Library Use Policy

2010-12-16T09:06:00.000-08:00

Warsaw Public Library

Children’s Library Use Policy

Service to children is an important part of the library’s mission. We welcome children in the library and hope that their experiences here will be positive.

Please keep in mind that the library is a public place open to all individuals. It is not the library staff’s function to provide supervision or to care for unattended children. The following guidelines will help insure a good library experience:

· For their comfort and safety, a responsible caretaker must accompany children under 7.

· Any child who feels unsafe in the library for any reason should inform a library staff member.

· If children are left alone in the library, library staff will attempt to contact a parent or guardian. If no responsible adult can be located, staff will contact the local police department.

· Caregivers are expected to be aware of the opening and closing times of the library, bearing in mind that these can and do change. Power failures or other emergencies can occur and may require unexpected closing of the building. Since children left alone outside the library could be vulnerable, an effort will be made to contact the parent, guardian, or caregiver prior to closing. If, however, a child is left at the Library after closing time or as the result of an emergency closing, the police will be called.

· Children ages 7 through 17 may use the library without a caretaker being present. They are expected to adhere to the same standards of conduct expected of adults. All library users are expected to respect library property and to act in a manner appropriate to the use and function of the library. Children who do not use the Library appropriately may be asked to leave the building.

· The library believes it is the right and responsibility of a parent or guardian to determine what is appropriate material in order to meet personal family standards and guidelines. Parents are encouraged to accompany their children and to select material with their children or review their children’s selections. The library is not responsible for a minor’s selection of library materials.

· Adults who are using the Internet or other library services and programs must supervise or provide guidance and behavior control for minors accompanying them. The library reserves the right to prohibit Internet use, and/or ask the adults and minor children to leave if unacceptable behavior persists.

· Library policy requires the signature of a parent or guardian to approve the application for a library card for anyone under age 18.

· The Library requires the parent or guardian of a minor child to be responsible for all overdue, lost or damaged materials and fines, fees and other debts accrued by a minor child.

· All children under age 18 must have written permission from a parent or legal guardian, signed on the library permission form in the presence of a library employee, to access the Internet. The library is not responsible for the content or appropriateness of any materials accessed on the Internet.

· All computers in the Warsaw Public Library are currently filtered in compliance with the Children’s Online Protection Act (CIPA). Filters limit materials accessed by the user, although they do not guarantee that objectionable material will not be seen.

· Children’s use of all library materials, including the Internet, is the sole responsibility of the parent or guardian.

· All personal belongings should be kept with patrons at all times. The staff cannot store personal belongings.

I just came upstairs after participating a little in Miss Mary's library program for the YMCA after school program kids. What fun! I played with some of the dozens of finger puppets the library owns for special programming. Did you know that we have over 40 puppets you can check out? They are so neat-o.

Now I’ll Learn to Read

2010-09-01T13:26:00.001-07:00

The beginning of the school year is an exciting time for young children. The earliest years are the time when we concentrate on teaching reading, aiming to have confident readers by Third Grade. Of course, every child has her own schedule. My father loved to tell how when his father tried to get him to learn before he had started first grade, he proudly retorted, “I will larn when I go to skool.”

The library is here to help all readers and those learning to read. Is there something confusing, something you are curious about? Ask your child’s teacher, and ask us. If we don’t have an answer, we’ll try to find one.

Don’t forget to keep reading aloud, and check our Early Reader section.

Fall Plans

2010-08-30T06:32:00.001-07:00

Don’t forget we do story time all year. Tuesday mornings at 10:30, we have a half hour of rhymes, songs, and stories. Join us. There’s no need to register.

Bring your lunch to the library on Mondays at Noon in July and have a relaxing time sharing your creativity. This program is for all ages, adults and children. We will read the mystery, Chasing Vermeer, and also have some “theme” days, exploring fashion and music. Bring your Mom and have her reveal her greatest fashion triumph—or disaster! Learn the name of that song you could never figure out the words to. Why was Elvis such a big deal, and what did you wear to high school in 1980? Solve these mysteries—and more.
We’ll supply lemonade and tea.
