Investiture celebration at Lamson

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007

The Library and Lamson Learning Commons welcomed PSU President Sara Jayne Steen and area families for a storytime reading event in April. President Steen read old favorites like The Cat in the Hat and well as newer titles.

Everyone enjoyed the refreshments and a little alone time in the stacks.

Several families from Plymouth and Holderness also applied for their FREE library cards during their visit. Permanent residents of both towns are invited to come and register for their cards at the Main Level Information Desk during regular library hours.

Kindergarteners visit Lamson Library

Monday, February 12th, 2007

Kindergarteners from the PSU Child Development and Family Center visited the library on Thursday February 8th. The class had been exploring fairy tales and were eager to find their favorites such as Beauty and the Beast, The Three Little Pigs, and Jack and the Beanstalk.

Outreach Librarian, Anne Kulig, read a new twist on one old favorite entitled KATE and the Beanstalk by Mary Pope Osborn (author of the the popular Magic Tree House series) and then the youngsters visited the Children’s Literature collection to find their OWN magic.

The Childcare Center protocol does not permit us to show pictures of the children, but a good time was had by all. Our thanks go to Meredith Leighton and Karen McDonough, Kindergarten Teachers, for arranging the visit.

Come back soon!
