On Mondays After Class (MAC) we have the 4th – 6th grade kids in the library for programs. These kids work on STEAM projects. We have 24 enrolled in this age group.
Then our Wednesday After Class (WAC) program has 60 Kindergarten through 3rd grades kids enrolled. They are a busy group of kids.
Our final program is a family program geared towards parents and their children birth to age 3. This program is called Sprouts. We have 16 families signed up for this program.
William Allen White Awards – 9 youth from the Osborne Elementary, grades 4 – 6 were selected to attend the William Allen White Awards in Emporia. This ceremony honors authors from a selected reading list for Kansas children in grades 3-8. The youth read books from the lists and turned in short book reports to the library to qualify to attend.
Library Updates – The library is happy to show off the latest addition to the library. An art table, art books and supplies were given to the library in memory of Bobi Jarrett. The kids love sitting and drawing and coloring. The library is also fortunate to get to have some of Bobi’s artwork on display.
