Print Making at Pember

Thank you to the young readers and naturalists at Pember Library in Granville, New York, where today, to launch the summer reading program, we ...

made fish prints (gyotaku) of the state fish, the trout ...






created a water xylophone to make music to accompany the frogs in the bog ...






and wrote water haiku too.

Flowing blue water
Splashing others and go under
Water in my mouth.
- Genni, age 11

Tum-bl-ing water
Water, water, everywhere
Purified water.
- Devin, age 12

Rivers flowing blue
Mettowee and Indian
Keeping Granville new.
- a "big kid"

A special thanks to Lucy, the library cat, for being part of our rain-making circle today! (You should receive a special fish treat for your literary efforts.) And, a special thank you to Ryan, for helping me move program materials into and out of the library.

May you splash all summer long, inside and outside the library!
