Poland library makes no knead bread

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

The Poland library hosted a no knead bread making class on Nov. 19.

Librarian Missy Williams organized the event, with all ingredients pre measured and provided by the library.

“This project is fun because its easy, though its not something you an complete in 24 hours,” Williams said.

Sixteen people attended the event, each bringing their own bowl to take the dough home with them.

Williams provided recipes to those in attendance and went through step by steps alterations they can make to the recipe to suit their taste.

“You can change out different kinds of flower, do different salt or lower amounts of salt, as long as you keep the chemistry of the dough consistent,” Williams said.

She suggested leaving the dough to rise for at least 48 hours, because the more it rises the better the flavor of the

bread.

Each bucket also received an individualized class roster in plastic for teachers to have available.

“All the work is done by the students,” Hrina Medvee said.

She explained that its important for students to feel safe in their own schools, and by having them create these buckets themselves students feel they are making a difference.

“We want the kids to be in-

Along with safety buckets, the Boo Squad has a number of projects planned throughout the year. Students collect food for the holidays, adopt families for Christmas and work on other projects with the goal of serving the community.

Children and parents who attended the Read and Make event at the Michael Kusalaba library used candy wrappers to decorate paper leaves on Nov. 1.

Preschoolers gain literacy skills at library

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

The Michael Kusalaba library hosted a Read and Make event on Nov. 1 The event was hosted by librarian assistant Amelia Dale.

Dale said that the event is a rebranding of the story time event the library has offered since its opening early this year.

“We want to focus more on a specific age group because those were the kids that were coming,” Dale said.

She explained that 3-5 yearolds were the main group in attendance, and re-branding the event allowed her to focus on important literary skills for the younger age group, and pick themes for each event.

“I was impressed it was really this age that was coming so I made it so that it was more geared towards them,” Dale said.

“I created the theme to encourage more people to come.”

The first week’s theme of the event was candy, in celebration

of Halloween. Dale read three books to children gathered at the event, including “Little Pea,” “Candy 1 to 20” and “Curious George Goes to the Chocolate Factory.”

The group also sang a number of candy related songs, with the focus on rhyming and repetition which Dale says is good for children at this age group.

“This is the time that their minds are really developing,” Dale said. “Before they’re 5 is essentially when they are just

sponges and they are really listening.”

The group also worked on a craft with all supplies provided by the library. Children and their guardians ripped up candy wrappers, gluing them on leaves

to create a candy and fall themed mosaic. The Read and Make event will continue every Thursday at the library at 10:30 a.m.

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

The Michael Kusalaba library hosted its first Halloween celebration with its Monster Mash Halloween Party on Oct. 29.

Librarian assistant Amelia Dale created the program, stating that its the first and only Halloween themed event the library has planned for its first year open.

“We opened on Valentines day,” Dale said. “I know Halloween programs are popular at all the libraries.”

The event featured a passport with six different activities for children to do, getting a stamp at each one once it is complete.

The activities included bowling, witches hat ring toss, making a monster magnet board and even going to the librarians’ desk to collect a stamp and candy.

“When they get done, they get a little prize so its just a fun way for kids to come and enjoy the library,” Dale said.

The treat bag included candy, stickers and little toys for children to take home and enjoy.

Children came in throughout the hour long event, cycling through the activities and getting stamps to complete their passports.Many children dressed in costumes to get in the Halloween spirit.
