This week's events ...
Thank you to everyone who attended our special events this week! More than 200 people showed up to see Big Joe on Tuesday morning, and were very generous in their support of the Friends of the Upton Town Library!
On Wednesday afternoon, we learned about our environment, many problems it is facing, and what we can do to help, from 9-year-old Carrick McCullough and his dad, Colin. Here is a link to the handout they provided, and a link to their website: http://www.ourrenewablenation.org/
Here is a link to some Websites for Students, all relating to the environment.

February StoryTime Themes
Well, yesterday was Groundhog's Day and sure enough, Punxsutawney Phil saw his little shadow, so we're in for another six-weeks of Winter! For cold-weather storytime themes, here's what's in store for the pre-school crowd on Thursdays this month:
Penguins!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Polar Bears are cool!
Winter is for the birds!!

Pre-School StoryTime is held every Thursday at 10:30am and 1:30pm in the Upton Town Library. Due to the limited space in the Children's Area, and for craft-planning purposes, we do ask that parents pre-register for this program, on a monthly basis.
(Please specify either morning or afternoon session.)
