Cashiers Library
Written By: Luke Osteen | Issue: 2018/12 - December
During this busy holiday season, with its meaningful community celebrations and deeply personal family observations, it’s easy to forget that so many of these events are new and perhaps not well-understood for children.
That’s why little ones and their loved ones are invited to Albert Carlton-Cashiers Community Library for Storytime, Wednesdays at 10:00 A.M. Youth Services Director James Stewart-Payne will offer a close-up look at the month’s big events – Hanukkah, The Winter Solstice, Christmas, Kwanzaa and New Year’s. She’ll explain why they’re observed, what families do to celebrate these holidays, and how they affect us throughout the year. It’s respectful, and fun, and served up with an irrepressible sense of excitement. Each presentation includes music and an arts and craft project that can be taken home and enjoyed by the entire family. Storytime is suitable for little ones up to five years old.
For older children, especially those in danger of being overcome with holiday craziness, the library offers Lego Club at 3:45 P.M. Tuesday, December 11. The library provides a full range of Lego, and the children provide the imagination and skill. Everyone is invited to participate.
STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) Club meets at 3:45 P.M. Tuesday, December 18. Ms. Stewart-Payne will provide instructions and supervision, and participants will learn new ideas and talents. This is a tremendous way to blow-off near-explosive levels of holiday excitement.
Speaking of new ideas, if you happen to receive a gift this holiday season that challenges your technical abilities – a Kindle, laptop, phone, or confusing digital device – the library staff can offer free one-on-one tutorials to help you learn its capabilities. Call to make an appointment – (828) 743-0215.
The library will be closed for the Christmas holiday, Dec 24-26, opening for regular business at 10:00 A.M. Thursday, December 27. It’s located at 249 Frank Allen Road.
