Under the Sea at the Library

Selma may be 200 miles from the Gulf of Mexico, but sea creatures swim
 in this saltwater aquarium in the children's department of  our libary.
 Fascinating!

I Love Dad, Yea!

It's Father's Day, and here is just one of dozens of  tie cards that children
 made by hand at the Selma-Dallas County Library on Friday. 
They glued, colored and wrote sentimental greetings on their cards. 

I love Dad, Yea!

June and July bring "Imagination Summer" to the Selma-Dallas County Public Library,

 and Father's Day crafts on Friday. Tuesdays are puppet show days,
 and Wednesdays are reserved for Open House Art. Events in July will include 
a reptile show, McWane Science Center "Diggin' Dinos,"
 pasta art and balloon magic.

The Perfect Perch

We're posting the letter V over at ABC Wednesday, and this might
 be a weather VANE atop Dallas Academy, or it might be 
the perfect VENUE  for a pigeon perch!

Charlie's Artists

It's Art Camp Week at the old Dallas Academy, and campers get to create
 3-D works under the direction of famous folk artist Charlie Lucas.
 Using a variety of  trash and trinkets that vary from sections of garden hose, 
old wooden forks, beads, keys and wire, these young artists got out
 the glue guns and went to work. Campers rotated among art stations 
and also made jump ropes, painted ceramics, decorated old cigar boxes
 and had pictures made in costumes on Monday.
