Thank you to the Country Children's Center

The Pre-K class at the Country Children's Center visits KVL on Tuesday mornings to have story time and crafts with Miss Connie (Connie Kamerman, part of the KVL Children's Room staff).  On graduation day at CCC a quilt was raffled that was made by the children and Miss Pam.  All the proceeds went to KVL Children's Room.  We thank CCC for their donation of $100 to KVL Children's Room. 

Miss Pam of CCC says, "Our Pre-K class loves their visits to the library and each week we observed the children's love of books, which grew and grew with each visit!  We look forward to seeing Miss Connie in the fall." 

KVL Children's Room is an important source for pre-school learning and literacy for your child. It is one of the goals of our library to foster literacy and the love of books. The Summer Reading Game "Make a Splash Read" will help keep your children involved with reading during time off from school. Come to your library often and enjoy the many things we have to offer.

Van Kozelka, Director

Have you ever thought that the two people in your life who were most different would also be the most interesting if they met? That is the concept behind CrossTalk, the provocative and popular series launched last year in partnership with the Katonah Village Library. CrossTalk features two experts talking on unrelated topics, with the collision of disparate subjects leading to unexpected insights and connections during the audience question-and-answer period that follows. Meet theater director Terrence O'Brian and radio personality Jimmy Fink. A 6:30 pm wine reception precedes the one hour program, which begins at 7:00 pm. More information at www.katonahmuseum.org

Reservations strongly suggested - $20 in advance; $25 at the door. Call (914) 232-9555.

Proceeds from CrossTalk support children's programming at the Museum and the Library. 
 

Up next:  September 16, meet book agent Molly Friedrich and New York Times writer Lisa Belkin. For more information click here
