Tell our readers about your overseas project
The overseas portion of our program currently consists of a “Books To The Bush” program where donated books are put on racks and loaded in vans to drive to remote areas where people might not otherwise be able to enjoy the library experience. An education major or two from the University accompany the driver and provide reading time, phonetic training and in some cases even tutoring. They bring a rug for the children to sit on, sometimes this is a first experience as well. The children are given library member cards and taught how to care for books.

Can you recall a time when you were bored listening to a story during your child’s story-time session at the library or school? For many parents, we enjoy listening to versions of The Little Engine that Could or If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and never tire of it. Similarly, kids enjoy the time spent enjoying a good read with the people they love hanging out with.

If your children are anything like mine were from 0 to 5 years old, you are always running to keep up! Kids are active and they love to play. As a parent we can encourage them to learn while they are playing and as a part of everyday life activities. We can give them opportunities and resources that will lay the foundation for skills that will serve them for life. Things like language, mathematics, arts, science and technology can all be incorporated into their playtime. They can also learn some business basics at very young ages through their playtime and through role modeling.

Submitted by Rebecca Cousins, Freckles Crafts
Arts and crafts are a wonderful pastime for children and adults alike. When our little ones come home from school with those cute little blobs of glue mixed with macaroni, craft sticks, and glitter, we can’t help but smile and then display it in our home like a prized work of art! While we may be raising the next Picasso, there is a lot more to those craft projects than meets the eye!
