Kid’s News

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

Congratulations to Brian C. and Anabelle M. for winning a copy of The Nixie’s Song, the first book in the new children’s fantasy series, “Beyond the Spiderwick Chronicles,” by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black.  Brian and Anabelle won the books at The Spiderwick Chronicles Event held at the Dr. James Carlson Library on December 28, where kids celebrated the original five “The Spiderwick Chronicles” books and the upcoming February release of the movie based on them.  Attendees at the event played games, made a Wood Elf mask, and watched a fencing demonstration by Mike Anson, coach of the UND Fencing Club; Bob Bianco, coach of the MSUM Fencing Club; and Jason Schoenack, student of Mr. Bianco.

Join us for upcoming children’s events including Hobby Day at Your Library on Monday, January 21 in honor of National Hobby Month.  Beat the winter blahs by learning how to crochet, play guitar, start a collection, create with LEGO® toys, and more!  For kids in grades K-12, the event is free and will be held as an open house at the Dr. James Carlson branch of the Fargo Public Library from 2:00-4:00 p.m.

And the annual Winter-Read-a-Thon begins January 7. Kids (and adults) complete booklogs to keep track of their reading and become eligible for prizes. The event lasts through February 29. Booklogs can be picked up beginning Monday, January 7 at the check-out desk at all three Fargo Public Library locations.

Kids who made ornaments for the Christmas Tree at the Dr. James Carlson Library during our December Trim-a-Tree event can now pick up their ornaments at that location, if they’d like to keep them.
