Bank Awards Library Programming Grant

Cathy Kerr, M&T Bank Lakewood branch manager, is pictured reading the book each student will receive at a Thanksgiving celebration to be held in November.

BEMUS POINT — A grant from M&T Charitable Foundation will allow the Bemus Point Library to provide a special Thanksgiving celebration for its pre-school story time students at both the library and at Bemus Point Elementary School.

The book all students will receive this year’s is “Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving” by Dav Pilkey. Following a reading of the book, the students will participate in a special activity and have an authentic Thanksgiving feast of turkey, potatoes, vegetable and pumpkin pie.

In addition to reading, children will use their senses of tasting, smelling, hearing and seeing. They will also learn about the importance of giving to others by bringing in canned goods for local food pantries.

Story time at the Bemus Point Library is available to pre-school children up to 5 years of age. It is held on Wednesdays with sessions from 9:30-10:15 a.m. and 11-11:45 a.m. All children must be accompanied by an adult. The story time schedule follows the Bemus Point Elementary School calendar with a few exceptions and is subject to the same inclement weather policy. For more information call the library at 386-2274.
