Help Decorate the Library with Our New Reading Theme

This year our Reading Counts theme is Blast Off into Reading.  Would you like to help decorate the library with stars and planets?


If you would, here's what you need to do:

1. Buy a package of foam craft balls.  These come in multiple sizes, so you have a lot of choice.  You can find these foam balls at Michael's or WalMart, among others.  You can also purchase these online.  
2. Next, pick out the paint color for your stars and planets. According to Kid's Astronomy stars are known to be blue, blue/white, white, white/yellow, yellow, orange and red.  The blue and blue/white stars are smaller but hotter than the others; The orange and red stars are the biggest but not as hot as the smaller stars.
3. Paint your planets and stars.
4. Plan on coming to the library on the evening of August 10 to hang your stars.
5. Get ready for a great year of reading!

These are the stars I painted today!
