The
Roxbury Public Library in Succasunna had a very successful "
Winn-Dixie" Party on February 28. In addition to party food, such as egg salad sandwiches, pickles, litmus lozenges, dump punch, we set up four stations of activities. One was a table where our visiting therapy dog, Lacey, greeted guests and "paw-tographed" free books (with the help of her owner and a paw stamp!). The second station had cups, dirt and peppermint plant seeds so that "Wait-and-See" trees could be planted. Each plant went home with a little instruction sheet. The third station had pictures from the C
olor A Smile Organization (
www.colorasmile.org). These pictures will be mailed to the organization which will distribute them to patients, shut-ins, senior citizens and other individuals who need a smile. The fourth station had family trivia games such as a crossword puzzle and a "Name That Dog" quiz. I found these in the "Online Activities" link of this great Dog Lovers site
www.mce.k12tn.net/dogs/index.htm. We gave out New Jersey pencils and doggie bookmarks for prizes. We were having such a great time that people stayed past the hour planned!
* Thanks to Diane Sebastian, Youth Services Librarian for our very first Success Story!

We hope to show all of your OBNJ Success Stories
