End of February great time at the library!!


There are a few fun things going on this week around town.

There will be a LEGO Brickmasters  event held on Tuesday, February 25, 2014 at the Fairborn Library located at 1 East Main Street in Fairborn.  The Fairborn Library website says “Be innovative with LEGO bricks! “  This will be held in the meeting room downstairs at the Library.  It will be from 3:30-5pm and it is open to grades 6-8.  I have to say I always like it when I find things to do for this age group!  If you have questions, you can call the Fairborn Library at 878-9383.

Also at the Fairborn Library will be Pre-School Story Time from 10:30-11:30am on Wednesday, February 26.   We used to take our kids to this they had a great time with stories, singing, puppets, and other activities.  This is for pre-schoolers ages 3-6.  This will also be in the meeting room located downstairs in the library.

Something I just discovered.  The Fairborn Library has “Library Buddy Tutors by Appointment”  According to the website, it is from 3-5pm  on Thursday and it is for kids of all ages.  It says “Baker Middle School National Honor Society and Volunteer Tutors will provide homework help and tutoring in Science, Math, English, and Computer Skills.  To make an appointment call 937-878-4681, ask for Mrs. Guere.  She is awesome and has a true passion for teaching students.

For the adults this week at the Library:  Computer One-On-One Assistance.  This is Friday, February 28 from 12-4pm.  Their description says to call the reference desk at 878-8393 ext. 3 to register.  This is a great opportunity for some- one on one computer assistance.

For the college student in your family who likes to ski, Mad River Mountain has college Fridays.  Their website says “Every Friday of the season college students with valid ID can score a lift ticket or tubing ticket for any session of the day for only $20.  Ski the All Day session from 10:00-9:30pm or hit the Extreme session from 4:00pm-3:00am for the same price. Need equipment?  No problem-add on a ski or snowboard rental to your college lift ticket for just $15.”  If you don’t know how to ski, no problem, they do offer lessons on that too!

Saturday, March 1, from 8:30am until 11:30am, there will be a Maple Sugaring and Pancake Breakfast at Bellbrook Middle School located at 3600 Feedwire Road in Bellbrook.   According to the website, www.gcparkstrails.com/event-MapleSugar.html   “There’s no better way to spend a Saturday morning in March than to experience the magic of Maple Sugar season.  Start your  day by enjoying a hearty breakfast of sausage and pancakes with real Narrows Reserve maple syrup, along with coffee, juice or milk.  After breakfast, take a tour of the sugar camp to see how the syrup is made. “  It appears the tours are free with your breakfast purchase.  The cost is ages 7 and older $7; ages 3-6 $4; under age 3: free.  If you only want to take the tour it is $4; under age 6 is free.  For more information on the this event and maple sugaring call 937-562-6440.
