JKPL holds 2024 ‘Back to School Bash’

The Joeten-Kiyu Public Library hosted a very successful “Back to School Bash” last Aug. 24. To celebrate our love for learning, we reigned in the new school year with a read aloud at 10:30am followed by Stationery activities, Bingo, Face Painting, a Wii Sports gaming corner, and a Nintendo Switch gaming area.

The children all received a little goodie bag of school supplies, and had the opportunity to win coloring books, crayons, and even a brand-new backpack with a matching lunchbox and pencil case. How cool is that! The event took place in the Children of Our Homeland a.k.a. the “Children’s Library.” Throughout the event, children giggled, interacted and expressed their love for their community library.

Here at the Joeten-Kiyu Public Library, we are always coming up with new ideas to engage with our community and intertwine that with learning. If you would like to know more about our upcoming events, feel free to check out our library website, and all of our social media platforms. Better yet, come by and meet the members of your public library. Information can be found below. No social media? No problem! You can always contact Celina Foreman or Sina Palacios, who can be reached at (670) 235-7315. We are happy to answer any questions about the Children’s Library activities, events, and schedules.
