Current Passive Programming at FCPL

Many, many thanks to our Friends Group and to Fall Creek Area Foundation for providing funds to allow us to bring more ways to connect together at FCPL. Due to their generosity, we were able to purchase a brand-new new book display and an awesome dramatic play area!

Come check out our new books... in their new display!

Pizza Parlor play area

You should also come check out other great things going on right now in the Library.

Jack and the Beanstalk, inspired by this pin I found on Pinterest. The stalk is filling up fast with lots of little people! Can you find the giant??

And the Collaborative Crossword. Each clue is about Fall Creek! Located in the Young Adult Area. Come help us complete it!

100 Cup Structure

It's tall! It takes patience! It's unique! It is loud when it falls down! :)

Our latest play table is 100 CUP STRUCTURE! It literally took 30 seconds for kids to start playing with it once I had it all set up. I'm excited to see the pictures the kids take of their creations.

I plan to put up a sign near this activity advertising our next Homeschool Club meeting as we will do 3D art and architecture activities.

I am not sure how long I will leave this up. The cups are plastic, so if somebody is too rough on them, they won't last very long. We'll also see what my co-workers say about the noise after a while... or maybe put a rug underneath the table ;)

Up Close with Trees

The current Library Playtable is a self-directed microscope activity.




















Kids can look through the microscope at different woodland items: bark, fern, leaves, pine needles, a pine cone.

Then they can write about or draw what they saw.

The kids have been having great fun with it!

When I first put it out....

This is what the first page looks like now! We have 3 pages filled up!

PJ Party Storytime

Storytime was AMAZING today! I wish you had been here :)

Hello, How are You? by Dr. Jean

Thomas's Snowsuit by Robert Munsch

Snowflake, Snowflake by Carole Peterson on her CD Highly Useable Music All Year Long We used ribbons and followed along to the music.

Then we had a snow and ice scavenger hunt! Using tools and manners, we hunted for prizes in the snow and dug them out!

We did have to take a break to have a snack.

Then right back to the snow and ice!

Look at some of the prizes we found!

For a special holiday gift, each child got to pick out their own book to take home.


Stop in to the Library over the holidays! We won't have storytime until the middle of January, but there are still lots to do! Check out the amazing haircuts we've made at the Library Playtable:
