Some registrations are still being taken for next week’s March Break programs at all four libraries. To register come in person, or telephone 905-356-4053, or visit www.nflibrary.ca. These inexpensive programs fill quickly so don’t delay.

Here are some of the highlights.

The Bird Kingdom of Niagara Falls will bring Wally the bat and some friends to all four libraries for an informative presentation followed by a craft.

Dan the Music Man will entertain kids of all ages. Learn some “reely” fun Irish dances with Lisa.

Jerry Seinfeld’s new movie will have you buzzing about for days while the Chipmunks get into new trouble.

Niagara Woodcarvers will have each child carve and keep a wooden reminder of their instructional workshop.

Craft programs include best friends stationary kits, spring wreaths, feathered friends wall hangings, bee mobiles, painting with Mrs. Cookie and Donna, buddy bracelets, ceramic bugs, bumble bee flower bouquets, frog and egg decorations, bunny baskets, door hangers and others.

Story programs feature spring time tales for all ages and some just for one and two year olds, Cocoa Club for those seven and older and bunny storytime for 3 to 6 year olds.

The Funtastic Family Story Time continues at the Victoria Avenue Library on the last Thursday of each month at 6:30pm. These theme based events for the whole family to enjoy together include stories, songs, rhymes, games, a craft and short film.

Register now for our spring programs which start March 31 at all four libraries and mark your calendars for the fifth annual Niagara Falls Family Literacy Event on April 12 at the MacBain Community Centre.

View the art gallery exhibition, see all the displays, use the Early Literacy workstations and borrow some interesting children’s books, magazines, videos, DVDs, CDs and story cassettes.

Children are encouraged to visit the Kids Corner of the library’s website www.nflibrary.ca/KidsCorner to see fun stuff for different age groups, favourite book characters, homework help and the library catalogue and programs.
