Your Child Parenting Program

9/18/2018

Tuesday, October 9, 6:00 at the Lanpher Memorial Library
Free Parenting Program
Using Picture Books to Support the Emotional and Social Development of Your Child.

Children get angry, sad, frustrated, nervous, happy, embarrassed...but they don't always have the words to talk about how they are feeling. Understanding emotions is a critical part of children's overall development. Please join Amy Olsen, (Vermont Early Literacy Initiative trained Librarian) and Marie Olsen, Licensed Mental Health Practitioner and Registered Play Therapist; to learn how children's literature can support your child's social and emotional development.

Participants will receive free books.
Please register as space is limited. Call Marie Olsen: 802-917-3183 or Lanpher Library 802-888-4628

Look forward to more programs in the Your Child Series:
Tuesday, November 13th 6:00 Discussing Death with Your Child. (register now)

Modern Times Theater..fun for all ages!

6/29/2018

MODERN TIMES THEATER Monday, July 9th at 3:00 p.m. at Lowe's Lecture Hall in Johnson, VT.
Back by popular demand, this FREE program is brought to you by the Lanpher Memorial Library, and the Johnson Public Library with a grant from the VT Dept. of Libraries.

The hills are alive with the sound of music in this all-ages puppet production.
“Sweet Music” follows the troubles and travails of puppetry’s favorite loudmouth, Mr. Punch as he sings his way through trouble, adventure, and triumph. Included in the cast are the Bozo Brothers, who delight audiences with their dynamic percussive dance routines. This is hand-puppetry at its best in a style that has entertained children for centuries. It addition to the puppet show, the program also features a mini concert, offering selections from an extensive repertoire of early jazz, classic American folk songs and original novelty numbers, performed on the cornet, ukulele, upright bass, five string banjo, and bicycle pump, as well as homemade instruments.
The program can also be paired with a junk music and sound experimentation workshop, in which participants create and learn to play instruments made from everyday household objects.
Rose Friedman and Justin Lander have been making and performing puppet shows together since 2003. They are co-founders of Vermont Vaudeville, Vermont’s premier Vaudeville troupe. Librarians say Modern Times Theater “engages all ages with their superb talent, wit and enthusiasm”, and “you must, must see them in person”!

StoryWalk® 2018 on the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail!

6/15/2018

Over in the Forest: Come and Take a Peek, by Marianne Berkes is the StoryWalk® book that we have set up on the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail through June 29th.

StoryWalk® is an innovative and delightful way for children — and adults! — to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. Laminated pages from a children's book are attached to wooden stakes. As you stroll down the trail, you're directed to the next page in the story.

Readers can begin reading the story on the Depot St. trail head in Hyde Park and follow the pages west.
There are many different ways to experience this book, making it a perfect StoryWalk® selection. It can be read, sung, acted out....and it's fun to read/walk again and again.

We hope you'll find a reason to walk on the beautiful Lamoille Valley Rail Trail and enjoy this story!

StoryWalk® was created by Anne Ferguson in 2007 in partnership with the Kellogg Hubbard Library in Montpelier, VT. StoryWalk® has spread to all 50 states and 12 countries (at last count).
