Villisca Public Library
The Library will be CLOSED today, Friday, Jan. 15th. Stay safe and warm, my friends!
A couple of really neat online story time websites I just discovered! Click on the link below the description to explore their websites.
Storyline Online is a free website introduced by the Screen Actors Guild (SAG). The Site features SAG members reading children's books online. There is a wide variety of books to choose from.
Just Books Read Aloud is a neatly organized website where you can choose the length of the book, author, narrator, topic, reading level, and language. There is free access to all the books, but a membership is optional.
COVID-19 CORONAVIRUS GUIDANCE

A Flurry of Possibilities!
-Your Winter STEM Connection-
The Winter STEM Connection is for all area children, preschool-5th grades and their families. STEM bags will be distributed per family unit. Each bag will contain a month’s worth of STEM activities. They will be organized by week and theme. Themes are Snow, Weather, Animals in Winter, and Winter Sports. The bags will include: challenges, activities sheets, games, suggested reading lists, recipes, snacks, and all the necessary materials to complete activities. There also will be a final survey to fill out and return to the Library for a prize!
This is a FREE program!!! This program is made possible by the Villisca Public Library and the SW Region Governor’s STEM Council of Iowa.
