Read Across America with Dr. Seuss
The Hansen Library is celebrating Dr. Seuss throughout March. We began with a story day on March 2. Mark your calendars for our Dr. Seuss Junk Bot Day on Saturday, March 9 from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. We will make junk bots in the style of Dr. Seuss characters. We will have Dr. Seuss Bingo and Scavenger Hunt sheets available the entire month (you can print one from here if you can’t make it in). Complete one or both for prizes.

K Ready resumes March 4
The Hansen Library is thrilled to offer two options for parents with 3- to 5-year-olds this fall and winter.
1) K Ready Program. We will focus on math and science during March with sessions on March 4, 11 and 25 from 10 to 11 a.m. These are free and you don’t need to attend them all.
2) Ready for Kindergarten Parent Workshops sponsored by the Idaho Association for Education of Young Children. We will hold three workshops: Dec. 11, Feb. 12 and Mar 18 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. (there is a link on the flier below). Please register for these workshops as you will receive education kits for your use at home. These workshops are also free.
