Parents: What Page Are You On?

That's right, we are kicking off our first ever book discussion for Preschool Storytime parents. Tuesday and Wednesday join library staff, parents and other adults for a spirited (but short) discussion of our Big Read book, To Kill A Mockingbird. No matter where you are in the book, drop in for some grown-up conversation (we won't mention the Teletubbies or Wiggles once) and light refreshments!

And the winner is...

The public has spoken, the ballots counted and the winner of our Pet Photo Contest is Prince. This pint-sized, cutie's picture was taken by Deidre Davison. For her winning entry, Ms. Davison won tickets for four to see Go, Dog, Go at the Lewis Family Playhouse. Second place went to Pipsqueak, a spotted tabby cat rescued from the pound. His picture was submited by Joshua Roney. And third place goes to the lovely Cha-Cha submitted by Kyle Tomoyo.

Thank you to all who submitted entries and who took the time to vote during our Family Saturday with Go, Dog, Go! All entries may be picked up at the Information Desk at the Paul A. Biane Library.

Storytime Registration Starts This Week

Registration for the next eight week session of Preschool storytime starts this Tuesday at the Biane Library at 10am and Wednesday, at our Archibald Library. Once registered, children are insured a spot at each weekly storytime. Rancho Cucamonga Library began registering children several years ago due to the high demand for storytimes specifically geared to Preschoolers and Toddlers. Both libraries also offer Family Storytime, which are open to the whole family at various times throughout the week. Check out our calendar of events for more information.

BIG READ ALERT:

Preschool Storytime Parents Now's Your Chance to Read A Book for Grown-Ups!

Rancho Cucamonga's Big Read is bigger than ever and here's your chance to get with the program! Parents and Caregivers with children in the 10AM Preschool Storytime at both libraries can read Harper Lee's classic, To Kill a Mockingbird, and participate in a book discussion while your children are in storytime on October 30, at the Biane Library or October 31 at our Archibald Library.

This is a great way to enjoy the book and meet other preschool parents and caregivers. If you'd like more information about how you can get copies of the book or sign up for a discussion section, please contact Casey Marcarello, Reference Services Librarian at casey.marecarello@cityofrc.us or call (909)477-2720 ext. 5064.
