Hey kids, did you know that this Thursday (April 23) marks the anniversary of both William Shakespeare's birth and death? Celebrate "The Bard" with a fun mystery like Shakespeare's Secret by Elise Broach or check out the rest of the Children's Department's collection of Shakespeare-related materials.

Here at CPL, we strive to ensure that our circulating puppets get cleaned frequently. If you notice any puppets in desperate need of a "bath," please let a staff member know so we can take care of them right away. We want our puppet area to continue serving as a fun play space and we thank you for your help in keeping our fuzzy friends fresh and clean!

Attention 5th and 6th graders! Want a chance to let the library know all about stuff that interests you? Then come to the next Tween Advisory Board meeting and tell us what kinds of books, movies, music, and websites you like and learn about ways you can help out with some different programs! Our next meeting is Saturday, March 28 from 1-2pm (no registration is required). Bring a friend, enjoy some snacks, and help us figure out what the library can do for you!

A couple new puppet kits, such as Fidgety Fish by Ruth Galloway, have arrived to the children's puppet collection! Bring one home today and share storytime fun with your family.

Keep a look-out for the new finger puppets that will soon be arriving to the Children's puppet collection. And while you're waiting for them to arrive, why not try making some puppets of your very own? Disney has lots of great suggestions to check out!

If you're interested in discussing a great book with other Tweens over a pizza lunch, look no further than our monthly Tween Book & Pizza Club! February's selection is The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau. This month's program is scheduled for 1pm on February 28, and registration begins at 9am this Saturday (February 14). Hope to see you there!
