Summer Jam Sign-Ups Are Here!

Shake your tail feather and rock your heart out at our summer jam series! We've got all sorts of fun for ages birth-5 including singing, dancing, playing instruments, and maybe even some bubbles for the toddlers. Not only are songs and dancing a fun activity for the summer, but these activities help grow your child's mind! Registration for Fremont card holders is in full swing and non-Fremont residents start sign-ups on June 10. We hope to see you there!

Summer Library Club Is Coming!

Get jazzed up and ready to go because the summer library club is coming! Starting June 17, visit our special summer table under the umbrella to sign up children ages 0-6th grade. Vist the library six times and each child receives a free book and amazing coupons for area businesses. (A reminder that teens grades 7th-12th have their own library club. Check it out at the main Youth desk!)

Our theme this year is "Have Book, Will Travel" so won't you come and travel along with us? You can expect to see Miss Connie and Miss Margaret occasionally traveling through the stacks looking for a great book to read. Celebrate reading this summer with the library! We can't wait to see you!

Babysitting Training Options

Our babysitting clinic is full for the month of June! For those that did not sign up in time, please join the waiting list. But there are other options for babysitting training. The Red Cross now offers an online course for only $25. It takes about 4 hours to complete, there is a test at the end, and if the student passes, they can print out a certificate. While our class is free, this is a viable option. Get started at The Red Cross!

Jelly Belly Winner Announced

While Moochie and Louie were on spring break at the Jelly Belly factory, we asked our young patrons to guess how many jelly beans were in a gumball dispenser. We're happy to announce that our 9-year-old patron, Lauren, is the winner in the jelly belly contest!  She guessed 800 jelly beans and there were actually 812. Way to go Lauren!

Fremont Celebrates Dr. Seuss' 109th Birthday

Another rick-rollicking celebration of Dr. Seuss' birthday was had at Fremont Public Library on March 2nd. Busy hands made Cat in the Hat hats, whiskers, and bows in the morning with our Drop-In Craft (offered every first Saturday of the month).

In the afternoon, the FPLD staff put on a dramatic reading of the always enjoyable The Cat in the Hat with goodies and prizes. Throughout the day, citizens big and small enjoyed dressing up and posing with the Cat in front of our photo booth.

Even more--yes, there's more!--with the generous help of our diverse staff, volunteers, and patrons, Fremont has compiled The Cat in the Hat read in seven different languages: Chinese, French, Hebrew, Italian, Polish, Russian, and Spanish. You can view our video on our YouTube channel.
