Flyer Time Service Project

Mrs. Whittington's Flyer Time class wanted to help those on the east coast that suffered from Hurricane Sandy's destruction.  They decided to sell hot chocolate before school.  

Angry Birds Live

Angry Birds Live came to the Truman MS library, sponsored by the St. Louis County Library at Oak Bend, Laura Polak, Youth Services Specialist.  The favorite puzzle-based video game was brought to life as students made their own angry birds and evil green piggies and played a live action version of the game.

 

Ms. Polak also told students about the county library's programs for teens and the new Winter Reading Club for kids, teens and adults that goes from November 1 - December 31. Adults and teens are asked to read four books; kids are asked to read five hours during the two month period. Those who complete the club will be entered into a raffle to win a winter prize pack which includes such items as sleds, hand warmers, gift cards, DVDs, books, Kindles and more. Log sheets are available at all SLCL branches. Call 314-994-3300 with questions or for more information.
