Mystic Rotary Grant for Children's Books on DVD

The Rotary Club of Mystic recently granted $250.00 to the Mystic & Noank Library to purchase new Children's Books on DVD. The DVDs help develop pre-reading skills as children listen to stories and read along with the video on their television or computer screen.
The Library has over 300 children’s and teen’s books on DVD and continually updates its collection.  “We are grateful for the Rotary Club of Mystic’s ongoing support of our programs,” said Roberta Donahue, Children’s Librarian.  “Since we have been adding books to our online e-reader library, we need extra funding to continue to add to our DVD collection in the Library.”

2013 Take Your Child to the Library Day!

Saturday, February 2, 2013  10am - 5pm

The Mystic & Noank Library Children’s Room joins hundreds of libraries across the country to celebrate the second annual Take Your Child to the Library Day.  On Tuesday, February 2, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Library will feature games, crafts and films that encourage children to enjoy the Library, sign up for a library card, and join others for a day of fun.

This grass-roots effort was started in 2012 by Waterford, Connecticut Children’s Librarian, Nadine Lipman, and Stratford, Connecticut’s librarian, Caitlin Augusta. After only one year, over 200 libraries in 31 states (to date) are participating.

The Mystic & Noank Library will feature children’s Valentines crafts, Chess cCub at 10 a.m. (all are welcome), and a double feature movie in the Ames Room starting at 1:30 p.m.  All events are free and open to the public.
