San Juan Bautista Story Time

I am going to blog about this til 'the cows come home.'

For the past couple of months I've been doing a bi-weekly story time for the preschool children from the San Juan Bautista Library in San Juan Bautista, CA. They walk over from their school and we start at about 10 a.m. each time. It has been a great deal of fun and the children are so adorable. There are a few who get a bit restless, but overall, they are great for a group of four and five year old kids. This past Thursday was the best, though. I did a story time program about transportation: cars, trucks, planes, boats, etc. I thought I was going to lose my crowd, when one little girl announced, "I want to leave!" You just have to plug through those times and keep on going. June 16 was my last regular date with them, until they start up again in September. But, thankfully, the library auxiliary has been pleased with the work I have done, so they asked me to do a summer reading program as well. I'm scheduled to read on Thursdays, June 30, July 14, 21, and 28, at 10 a.m. each time. I'm a bit worried because the town is small, and I'm not sure how many children will show up. I have contacted the local media, which is very small, to have them post in their community calendar the fact that I will be there, and I've put up flyers around town to get people to notice what I'm doing. I'm a bit disheartend, though, because I put flyers up at two key spots, and when I was in town the other day, they'd been taken down.

I'm not ready to give up, though! The story time for June 30 is Pirates, then on July 14--Sports; July 21 Around the world, and July 28--Dr. Seuss. Please, please, please oh please, pass this along to your friends, family and anyone who loves story telling. Taking a trip up the 101 to San Francisco, or down the 101 to Los Angeles? Come by and see us! The library's located at 801 Second Street. Call me, 831 245 8462 for more information!
