Hi Everyone,
This is Jamie from the Youth Services team, again. I thought this would be a good time to update the previous list I posted with some new things to entertain kiddos while we are staying healthy at home. I’d like to make some special thank you’s to Miss Heather at the Galena Digital Branch, as well at Miss Eileen and Miss Julie at the Carnegie Center for Arts and History for providing me for some excellent resources for this list! Don’t forget, we will be sporadically posting content like stories and songs on our social media, so please be checking for that! While the library is closed, we’re working very hard to make our digital content easier than ever for you to access. You can visit the library’s website, www.floydlibrary.org, to find out more information about great resources like Libby and Hoopla and how to access great e-materials at this time. As always, you can still reach out to us via email or telephone if you are having trouble accessing these services. All the information is on the website!
