Tarrytown Teachers' Tales Coming To Warner Library
TARRYTOWN, N.Y.  It turns out that seeing their teachers during the summer is a popular event for Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow kids.
Warner Library will begin its annual Tarrytown Teachers Telling Tales reading series on Thursday. The event draws anywhere from 12 to 40 kids and parents each week, Children's Librarian Patricia Cohn said.
The kids get very excited about seeing their teachers, she said. That is the main draw, I think. And overall we are very busy and our programs are well-attended.
The reading series includes a library visit from teachers and administrators in the Public Schools of the Tarrytowns who have volunteered to read a book. Teacher identities are not released in advance, making it a surprise for kids who show up.
This is the series' third year. The event takes place in the Children's Room from 1:15 to 1:45 p.m.
Cohn said attendance is kept during the series, and kids are often given a small prize. The event also encourages kids to complete their summer reading logs and to join the library's reading game, Cohn said.
After the storytime session, Warner Library hosts a free craft table for kids from 1:30 to 5 p.m. Cohn said many kids who come to the reading series stay to do crafts.
