Story Time Sign-ups |
|
A line forms for story time registration and a children's tour
takes over the library! Wellington continues to grow and growth is
reflected in the increased use of the library by our residents. Children's
story times , the Summer Reading Program and other children's programming are
always a big draw in our community. We look forward to our expansion to
serve all of our area patrons and friends. When you see a line, it usually
means there's something fun going on at the library! |

Miniature Horses at
Wellington |
|
Patrons and staff of the Wellington Branch
Library were charmed by miniature horses on Saturday September 6. Tony and Nancy
Lopes brought several of their registered miniature horses to the branch for a
demonstration and to answer questions. The side lawn of the library was filled
with over 100 spectators as the little horses jumped and posed for pictures. The
Lopes family raises and also shows these unique little horses. The miniature
horses are small in stature but big in heart. According to Tony Lopes they make
wonderful pets. Everyone enjoyed meeting these special horses. |

Wellington Chess Club |
|
Young aspiring chess masters came to Wellington
Branch Library on Thursday July 13 to kick off this new weekly event. Seated at
a long table, girls and boys aged 8-14 had fun learning a variety of strategic
moves and game protocol from seasoned chess instructor Howard Schoen who leads a
similar program at the West Boynton Branch. As eight simultaneous matches got
underway, Mr. Schoen observed the progress of the play and instructed the
players on making better moves, including bringing pieces out early and
castling. Everyone wanted to win, but even those who didn't win came away with
new tactics and high hopes for next week's games. This program is very popular
and registration is currently full, but anyone interested in joining is welcome
to check back in the future. |
