Read and sing aloud with your family
Timberland Regional Library ofers early learning program
PACIFIC COUNTY, Wash. — Nes-
tled comfortably between two
literary birthdays — Dr. Se-
uss’s on March 2 and Beverly
Cleary’s on April 12 — Tim-
berland Regional Library’s
Family Read & Sing Aloud
returns with a robust line-up of
programs.
The program focuses on
children from infancy to grade
3, but everyone is welcome to
join in the fun. This TRL tra-
dition grew out of the proven
connection between learning
pro¿ciency and the early child-
hood experience of having
been read to and having sung
songs aloud with others.
Beginning March 2, fam-
ilies, teachers and child-care
providers can pick up program
materials at any Timberland li-
brary, enter a drawing for priz-
es and start reading and singing
together, anywhere and every-
where. Each library will draw
a winner for a backpack ¿lled
with books chosen especially
for the winning family or class-
room. An activity that began
last year and will continue this
year is “Sing to your Librarian
Week,” where children are in-
vited to sing a nursery rhyme,
short song or the ABC song to
a librarian at their library any-
time during the week of March
21 to 26 to receive a small
prize.
Year after year, Timberland
families attest to the bene¿ts
“My ¿rst born was able to
read before kindergarten, and is
an excellent reader now!”
“It has made my son want
to learn to read.”
“The kids are becoming

passionate about what we read!”
“We did this mainly for our
three year-old, but … our 18
month-old…has started singing
along and dancing.”
“We are checking out more
sing along stories and having
more fun reading together.”
More information is avail-
able on the TRL website. All
programs at Timberland libraries
are free and open to the public.

SEASIDE — The Seaside Pub-

through April 26.
The simple de¿nition of
calligraphy comes from the
Greek “calli,” beautiful, and
“graphien,” writing. Calligra-
phy is an art that has roots in
all cultures and usually refers
to beautifully formed words,
written directly with a pen or
brush.
Chinese, Japanese and Ar-
abic penmanship have centu-
ries of calligraphic history as
strong as the Western tradition
of letter arts. Monumental Ro-
man capitals and Renaissance
italics stand as foundations in
the evolution of Western hand-
written scripts and lettering.
The Seaside Public Library
is located at 1131 Broadway.
