Summer reading is underway this week at the Amherst Public Library. This year our theme is Dream BIG and we have programs for ages 4 through age 104. More than 180 people attended our first craft day on Wednesday when our project was Dream Jars.
The craft was inspired by a book we used for storytime this week, The Dream Jar by Lindan Lee Johnson. This book tells the story of a young girl whose sister tells her the secret of keeping the good dreams close and sweeping away any bad dreams.
Kids of all ages had a great time painting jars with glow in the dark paint to create their own Dream Jars.
