Marcie Howard, certified elementary school teacher and Signing Time

Instructor is coming to Story Hour at Thomaston Public Library. She will

be visiting Friday, December 7th from 11am to noon. This event is funded

by the proceeds from Dena Davis' Children's Festival. "I am so happy

that Dena is funding this special baby signing workshop. I am looking

forward to learning about baby signing, and how it can improve early

speech and child development: plus it just sounds like a good time,"

says Assistant Librarian, Joanna Hynd.

 

Marcie Howard has worked with children for the past 20 years as an

elementary teacher. She is a certified Advanced Instructor at Signing

Time Academy and the creator of Sprouting Signers.

The Thomaston Public Library is proud to once again to host the photography of local artist Neil Shively. Librarian, Jocelyn Callaghan, recommends his photography saying, "The vibrant colors mix with the peaceful scenes to bring together a display that will captivate you with a sense of sea-side tranquility." This display can be seen at the Thomaston Public Library downstairs in the general fiction section.

 

 

“Neil’s photographs are luminous,

 eye-catching and so beautiful!”

says new head librarian Ann Harris.
