Along with a display of books on Greek cooking, culture, history and mythology, we also had a showing of Disney's Hercules. We had puppet and drawing crafts in the Children's Room during the week. We also had special Greek story times where we read Aesop's fables and tales from Greek mythology.<br /><img alt="Cheryl Allen with her laurel crown." class="media-image" style="margin-left: 5px; float: right;" src="http://www.dclibrary.org/sites/all/files/styles/square_thumbnail/public/photo%201_1.JPG" /><br />Our Greek celebration had our patrons making laurel wreath crowns and discussing what people, things, ideas, words and events come from Greek. We also tried yummy foods that are common in the Mediterranean, like pita chips, hummus and baklava. Together we all learned and performed a simple Greek dance using music from <a href="http://catalog.dclibrary.org/client/en_US/dcpl/search/results?ln=en_US&amp;rt=&amp;qu=zorba#" title="Catalog holdings of Zorba the Greek sound recordings">Zorba the Greek</a>.</p> <p><img alt="Ioulia Katsadima from the Archaeological Museum of Ioannina in Greece." class="media-image" style="margin-right: 5px; float: left;" src="http://www.dclibrary.org/sites/all/files/styles/square_thumbnail/public/photo%203%20%283%29_0.JPG" /></p><div><span>Our Greek Week ended with a special presentation by Ioulia Katsadima, from the Archaeological Museum of Ioannina.

Darren visited the library this summer with his grandmother and with his summer camp. His camp participated in a special storytelling program with Dr. Sharon Gaston.<br /><br />Darren is the proud owner of a new Kindle Fire and has already read a an e-book, <em>Quitness: The True Story of LeBron James</em>. He has also downloaded movies to his Kindle Fire. Other than basketball, Darren loves to read comics. His favorite superheroes are the <a href="http://catalog.dclibrary.org/vufind/Search/Results?lookfor=avengers&amp;type=AllFields&amp;submit=Find" title="Link to Avengers holdings in the Library catalog">Avengers</a>. He has read a ton this summer, to prepare for going into fourth grade. Before winning, Darren didn’t know that he could check out ebooks at the library, and went through a tutorial with the librarian to find <a href="http://overdrive.dclibrary.org/69623B00-8913-408C-B609-C4372B98FCA5/10/50/en/Subjects01.htm" title="Overdrive on the DCPL website">downloadable e-books</a> and <a href="http://overdrive.dclibrary.org/46D86B98-3793-43A5-BA53-A8874081383F/10/50/en/Subjects02.htm" title="Audiobooks in Overdrive on DCPL website">audiobooks</a> on the library website.<br /><br />Our “Read With Me” winner was <strong>Gabriel T.</strong>, age 3. Gabriel’s prize was a large bag of books selected by the Children’s Services Department. This bag was filled with award-winning and developmentally appropriate books for younger readers. Gabriel and his parents were thrilled with his prize.<br /><br />Gabriel had been coming into the library regularly for the last few months for <img alt="Gabriel T., our Read With Me winner, enjoying his new set of books." class="media-image" style="margin-left: 5px; float: right;" src="http://www.dclibrary.org/sites/all/files/gabriel_1.JPG" />story times and to check out books and DVDs.

He has learned how to treat books tenderly and tell his own stories. Gabriel has even set up his own story time at home, reading books and telling stories to his parents and stuffed animals!<br /><br />His parents appreciate the new library and its beautiful architecture. It is a welcoming and attractive place that helps the community buy in to reading. Gabriel’s parents are proud and grateful for the library’s support in helping to develop their son’s literacy skills.<br /><br />Help support your child’s literacy development by attending the <a href="http://www.dclibrary.org/starfestival" title="Link to STAR Family Festival!">STAR Family Festival: Sing, Talk &amp; Read</a>, on Saturday, Sept. 14. Learn how singing, talking and reading with your baby or young child now can help them later in school.<br /><br />In addition to our grand prize winners, the library also gave away Nationals tickets to seven lucky children.

Instead there is a stack of letters. The letters are from his disgruntled crayons telling him that they quit. Each one has a different complaint they want Duncan to address. Red is overworked. Purple hates it when Duncan colors outside the lines. Blue, last year’s favorite color, is down to a nub. Pink feels like it is neglected because it’s only used for girly pictures. Orange and Yellow are no longer on speaking terms. And peach…well, you’ll just have to read the book to find out.</span><br /><br />Drew Daywalt, award-winning writer and director of film and TV, makes his picture book debut in <a href="http://catalog.dclibrary.org/client/dcpl_boxed/search/results?te=ILS&amp;qu=ocn809925949/Description#tabs" title="Link to catalog"><em>The Day the Crayons Quit</em></a>.
