Bravo Enchanted Entertainers

Our Enchanted Entertainers performed at the Riverton branch library on Wednesday October 26, 2011 and Thursday October 27, 2011. We had 768 children and parents attend two days of shows, and a wonderful time was had by all. It was so wonderful that an encore performance will be Saturday October 29, 2011 at 10:30 AM. So if you missed the other shows you still have time to catch this funny and kind of scary play. See you there if you dare!

Summer Reading Success

Our Summer Reading Program has ended for the 2011 year. It was a great success. We changed the program this year and instead of giving little prizes for reading progress the children earned an opportunity to attend a special evening after hours at the library. Ukraine vacation, summer in Switzerland, and all the way USA.

Thanks for reading with us.

A little, "Magyk" at the Riverton Library

Jennifer from the Lander Children's museum and her companions entertained us at Summer Reading program #4. She showed us a little science, "Magyk" (One of Jennifer's favorite books written by Angie Sage). We were able to sample Fizzroot, make crazy bubbles, and assemble talisman necklaces. We had a total of 110 people in attendance. It was a very interesting and exciting program thanks to Jennifer.

Swiss Night

Our first fun night program was a hit. 35 people came across the boarder into Swiss night with their passports. Fanny entertained them with a power point about her country which included music. Then all the children put together a craft, and when that was finished there was wonderful food to sample. Fanny made homemade Swiss braided bread, there was cheese, a fizzy apple juice drink, and finally chocolate. A fun time was had by all.

New date for "Travel to the Old West"

Spud Murphy

The Riverton Branch Library Enchanted Entertainers performed for over a thousand children May 17th and 18th.

Grades kindergarten to five joined each other for the daily performances. The show was extraordinary and the students were a great audience.

We look forward with anticipation for the next exciting presentation by these amazing ladies!

Wyoming Reads 2011

357 first grade students, from local Fremont County Schools, converged at the Riverton Branch Library for the annual Wyoming Reads program.
Dawna Engle portrayed the naughty troll as she captivated the audience with her story about, "Good Queen Sue".







The children also saw an original play performed by our own Enchanted Entertainers. At the conclusion of the morning each child received their own special book.

Thank you to all the Riverton Library staff for your help, and thank you Tetiana, Katy, Fanny, and Sandi for putting together a great program.

Easter and last story time

For our Easter story time this year we decided to have an egg hunt in the adult section of the library. It was great fun.

Our last story time was wonderful. We made Kleenex box puppets. Then we all sat down and had a picnic. Hot dogs, chips, pickles, cookies, and lemonade made up our menu. The families really enjoy having lunch with us. See you in the fall. Watch for more information on the upcoming Enchanted Entertainers play and our summer reading program.

The Cat in the Hat Visits the Riverton Branch Library

The Cat in the Hat visited us with his friend Penny from PBS. Penny read Green Eggs and Ham and told the families a little about PBS. We had about 80 moms, dads, and kids attending.

Craft Club

Our craft club is not just for girl's any more.

It is now a coed club, and our craft was a European shoulder bag made from recycled jeans.

The tweens really used their imaginations and came up with some wonderful ideas.

We will meet again on March 19, 2011 at 3:15 PM. The group will be making Borax crystals. It's a little bit of craft mixed with a tiny bit of science. It should be an exciting afternoon.

Fancy Nancy Tea Party

Saturday February 19, 2011 mothers and daughters arrived at the Riverton Branch Library Children's department for the Fancy Nancy Tea. The children's staff prepared a wonderful menu and set a beautiful table.

We made hats together, listened to classical music, spoke French (because it's fancy), and learned etiquette for the table. It was a great afternoon. We hope to try this again in the fall and make it a twice a year event.

Rock a Cop!
