Family literacy was the foundation behind this program. Councillor Tim Bugera participated in the event. Grandparents and grandchildren did crafts together. Father and daughter played games at the library. Mothers read magazines to children when waiting for their turn to come to get their face painted. Each family was engaged for 90 minutes at the library. They visited different stations -- food court, candy store, mascot store, face paint, game, craft and watched puppet shows. Each station had a ticket. Children read the name of the station before giving the ticket to the person responsible for the station. Family pictures were taken in the Photo booth and these pictures were printed and given to the family. A lasting memory and impression of the library was taken home by the family to engage a conversation with the family members and friends.
The Family Day Social team included Tekeyla, Hilary, Kyle, Emily, Courtney, Ariel, Jacie, Amanda, Kelsey, Darliss and Carol -- Awesome Job! Are we ready for the Feb 21 Trickster Coyote program?
