Children's Library
All Together Now with Community Builders
Thank you to those who’ve given their time and talents by visiting our youth during our All Together with Community Builders series. Below are photos from these visits and the books our guest readers have read aloud.
ECU Women’s Basketball Team
The ECU Women’s Basketball Team are the best sports! They’re serious on the court but they showed their silly side during Storytime at Farmville Library. The players led kids in a warmup of Head, Shoulders , Knees, and Toes and a team spirit dance party with scarves, shaker eggs and bubbles. They read aloud the books “The Legend of Rock Paper Scissors” and “The Books With No Pictures.” Thank you Pirates for embodying the spirit of the summer reading program All Together Now at Farmville Library which is celebrating community and kindness. A special shout out to hometown star and Farmville Central alumn Amiya Joyner. Your hometown is proud!
Farmville Utilities
Thank you to the electrical workers from the Town of Farmville for showing us the tools used to maintain the electrical grid and how they respond when the lights go out. The crew also led us in Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes and read the book Blackout by John Rocco.
Farmville and Fountain Fire Departments
Thank you to the volunteer firefighters from Farmville and Fountain Fire Departments for joining us at the library for All Together Now with Community Builders. They presented two programs. During Storytime firefighter Valerie read “I Am Brave” and during Community Builders she read “Molly, by Golly!: The Legend of Molly Williams, America’s First Female Firefighter.” Firefighter Diego demonstrated the safety gear they wear to fight fires. Chief Brady and others answered many good questions from the kids. They brought the vehicles and equipment they use when responding to fire and rescue calls. The firefighters also led us in Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes.
