Spring Break at the Georgetown Public Library

March means spring break and special programs at the library. On Tuesday, March 16, from 10 a.m. until noon, members of the Native Plant Society will be helping with plant-related arts and crafts projects. This will be a new twist on our usual art event and we think it will be fun and educational. Wednesday morning, March 17, from 10 a.m. until noon, is every kid’s chance to entertain. It’s the 2010 Home Grown Talent Show—an event that has been lots of fun the past few years. Talent means any performance that your child would like to share—music, comedy, magic, dance, gymnastics, recitation.

The crowning event of spring break for the past eight years has been the children’s tea party and this year’s soiree promises to be the best yet. Tea will be served on Thursday, March 18, from 2 to 4 p.m. Because space is limited, you need to pick up an invitation in the Children’s Room (they’re available now) and use the bottom section of it to let us know your child plans to attend. The deadline for RSVPing is 5:00 p.m., Monday, March 15. The theme this year – Fancy Me — is a takeoff on the children’s book character Fancy Nancy. Attendees should wear their finest outfit, or “dress up” in other fancy clothes. Children also should bring their own special cup and saucer for enjoying the tea party comestibles.
