Stayton Public Library, March 2022
It's March! That means Spring is just around the corner and we have some exciting things coming.

A big thank you goes out to the Stayton Public Library Foundation for facilitating all the amazing donations from you for our new STEAM-based Library of Things. We will be working on adding the items to the catalog for check out in the coming weeks. Some things to look forward to are Magna-tiles, Snap Circuits, Birdwatching kits, a telescope, and more!

In addition, we want to give another big thank you to our Friends of the Library for purchasing some outdoor games to add to our existing game collection. Some of the games we’ve added are Bocce Ball, Disc Golf, Badminton, Horseshoes, and Giant Jenga. Find a full list of outdoor games to check out here.

Read Across America: Storybook Mystery Readers
For the first five days of March, in honor of the National Education Association's Read Across America, the nation's largest reading celebration, the Library is hosting a series of one-of-a-kind virtual read-alouds featuring a cast of storybook characters. But they're not revealing who they are... yet.

Each day a new reader will share a story of their choice and offer the opportunity to guess their identity. Other clues and hints about who they are may be found in their case files. Check these out in the Library during open hours at the display by the Children's Desk in the Library, or examine the case files directly online at staytonlibrary.org

Sharing stories together encourages children to see reading as important.  For more information about Read Across America, including their monthly book suggestions and resources, visit the National Education Associations' website at https://www.nea.org/professional-excellence/student-engagement/read-across-america
