The Friends of Mendon Public Library will host a special storytime at the Flags, Families and Fun Memorial Day family picnic. The event will be held on Monday, May 28, in Rotary Park on N. Main St. in Honeoye Falls, immediately following the parade and cemetery service.
Free picnic admission includes music by two bands and the 1:30 p.m. storytime at the Friends of the Mendon Library tent. Food and games will be available for purchase, and all proceeds from the event will benefit the new Veterans’ Memorial planned for Honeoye Falls.
Books that may be read during this special storytime include The Memorial Day Surprise by Theresa Martin Golding and The Wall by Eve Bunting and Ronald Himler.
The Memorial Day Surprise features a young boy whose mother tells him that the Memorial Day parade will include a big surprise, but it isn’t the bands or the candy. In the end, the boy discovers that the surprise is far more wonderful–it’s that his grandfather is a veteran in the parade.
The Wall is about a boy who travels to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial with his father to seek out his grandfather’s name.

The Stoney Clover Book Club is one of three book groups that meet in the library each month. As pictured here, the club typically sits around the beautiful conference table that was donated to the library by Mary Tichenor in loving memory of her husband, Paul.

This mom and daughter couldn’t wait to get home to read one of the books they selected, so they took a few moments to read it in the library while sitting on the lovely bench provided by Southco.

Friday mornings you will find stuffed animals of all shapes and sizes lounging in the Jacobs Family Reading Room while they wait for the sound of little feet and voices.
It’s not uncommon to also hear music from a recorder, singing, clapping, and a variety of fun voices as Miss Lydia makes books come alive for the children.
Our story times continue to be a favorite weekly event at the library. If you can’t make Friday mornings, you can always attend the story time on Monday or Tuesday at 10 a.m., or our Pajamarama Story Time (also hosted by Miss Lydia) on Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m.

According to his mom, Holden and his family had a wonderful time!
