Some story times may require more funds than others but no story time should exceed $100 The Happy Days Public Library serves a large suburban, mostly English-speaking community with a burgeoning Spanish-speaking population. The library has a large children’s room that is separate from the adult collection. The room has a stage area next to a craft corner. Facing the stage is a large rug for children to sit on. The craft corner has vinyl flooring and two sets of small tables and chairs as well as a full sized table with adult sized chairs. There is a large craft closet that is kept locked which contains all necessary supplies and cleaning materials. There are hooks along one wall for smocks; next to the hooks is a large tiered drying rack. The craft corner is located next to the children’s bathroom so that children will have easy access to a sink after craft time. read Chevala and the Magic Bubble by Monica Brown, illustrated by Magaly Morales read Problemas Con Burbujas by Frank B.
