Give your local library a call to see what they may have planned for the kids during spring break. You can find all the phone numbers on our home page under Locations.

Here at Crow we have activites planned for Monday March 25th to Thursday the 28th from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. We start the week off with a movie on Monday at 10:30 a.m. — no registration required. It is going to be in the kids zone so we can accomadate a pretty good crowd; around 60 plus. This animated movie has been pre-screened by yours truly, and I can tell you I found it a whole lot of fun. It is rated G/PG (some potty humour and a couple of scary images), but should be okay for ages 6 and up. Even the adults should like it — I had more than one laugh out loud moment.

Can't give you the title here, (due to copyright issues) but if you phone us 221-4122 we'll be happy to tell you!

Many of you remember the charming children's show of the 1970s and, due to popular demand, it's back on dvd at the library! Your teens will probably enjoy the original cast and crew of Sesame Street as well. There has been some controversy in the last few decades centering on the original series content such as Oscar the Grouch's perennial bad attitude and the persistent denial of Snuffalufagus' existence, which led to the form you now see today (I'm not sure that Cookie Monster wasn't formative in my development). Popular characters such as Grover prevailed, however, and are also known as Jim Henson's Muppets. The non-muppet cast included the fabulous Rita Moreno and a great inner-city New York set when the series was broadcast as The Electric Company with its funky theme song. The award winning show, like the library, promotes early childhood literacy.
