Battling the Hudson Valley By: Lauren The Battle of the Books is a program where kids read books and compete against other libraries. There are eight books that they have to read: “Legend,” “An Elephant in the Garden,” “Dead End in Norvelt,” “Icefall,” “Ninth Fall,” “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children,” “Liar and Spy” and “The Scorpio Races.” After they read the books, they answer trivia questions. One example is “In which book is the greatest threat to other people?” They would have to say the author and the book title. The last practice battle they lost two and won just one. Their team name that they picked out is The Wildcats. The last and final battle is on September 5th, so remember to root for Pawling!

3…2…1 BOOM! By: Sara Kids come to the library on alternate Thursdays between 1 and 2 p.m. and make a mess! “I think Kitchen Wizards is very messy,” said Isabella. Last week we made blood and blisters on our partners! Why? For Halloween! This week they made Fizzy Potions. They made balloons blow up with vinegar and baking soda. “Kitchen Wizards is cool,” said Ava. Everyone is sad that there is only one Kitchen Wizards program left.
Learning how to sew a Skirt By: Sarah On every Thursday between 4 and 5 p.m. kids come to the Pawling Library to learn how sew and to make things. This year everyone is making skirts. First everyone picked their favorite fabric for their skirt. Then they cut out the shape of the skirt and sewed a waistband on each skirt. In the next class they will make a shirt to match their skirt. Lili loves making her skirt. Madeline really likes to go to this class. Lexi thought it was cool.
