This morning, Jeanne Gamage and Nancy Viehmann led the first Preschool Story Hour in the Reserve's new fall series. It was very popular, attracting over 40 children, parents, and preschool teachers. Little Tom Turkey, written by Maine author Frances Bloxam, was the featured book this month. The children were wide eyed as they listened to Jeanne read the story and show real turkey feathers.
Following the story, Jeanne shared turkey egg and scat replicas with the group. Next, everybody hit the trail with Nancy in search of turkeys, their scat, and their tracks. The children took turns jiggling turkey callers, in hopes of attracting one of these magnificent birds.
Before leaving, participants were given turkey badges and coloring pages to take home, further extending their Wells Reserve at Laudholm experience.
The Reserve's library Preschool Story Hour programs for children ages 3-5 and their caregivers are free. The next two offerings are on Tuesday, November 8 (A Log's Life) and Tuesday, December 13 (Bird, Butterfly, Eel) from 10:30-11:30am. The Wells Reserve's Dorothy Fish Coastal Resource Library is open to the public on Tuesdays from 10-1 and Wednesdays from 1-4. It has over 3,500 volumes on coastal environments, estuarine issues, and watershed conservation.
Our latest 32 acquisitions are cataloged and ready to borrow. They are on the rolling cart in the library office for now; just ask a library volunteer for help. Remember, the Dorothy Fish Coastal Resource Library is open Tuesday 10 to 1 and Wednesday 1 to 4 or by appointment. Here's the list in alphabetical order by title…
The Maine State Library is featuring the Coastal Resource Library at Wells Reserve as its Spotlight library through the month of April.
It’s as good a time as any to get familiar with this great resource, if you haven’t already been in. If the standard hours are inconvenient, call ahead and someone will arrange to give you access. And the library will have an open house during the April 19 Earth Day Celebration.
