Paws, claws, scales, & tales

Beth has been taking part in the 'paws, claws, scales, & tales' programme at our local library. This comprised of three sections to record Beth's reading. Every time she read for 20 minutes she could colour in a book on the record sheet & at the end of each section she got a prize. When she had completed all sections she was entered into a prize draw & she won a t-shirt - cool.

The library is quite small as Fenton only has about 4500 residents, but unlike UK libraries you can hire DVDs, videos, & CDs, at no cost. They also have a selection of magazines & you can order anything available in any of the other St Louis libraries.
