Knit “Purple Crying Caps” At Corner Library

 

“Purple Caps” is a campaign to raise awareness about the fact that many infants are injured by being shaken. It educates people about how to deal with normal infant crying in a safe and appropriate way. When infants are very young they go through a period as purple crying and their crying ramps up in frequency and intensity. This can be hugely frustrating for parents and is the time during which parents are most likely to shake a baby out of frustration. That’s why purple has been chosen as the cap color for this project.

 

The Gilmanton Corner Library would like to invite all knitters and crocheters to the Corner Library every Saturday 10-12 to knit caps for these babies. On Saturday, January 18, the first session will explain “Shaken Baby Syndrome”. June Garen will be giving the instructions for knitting the caps. Free pattern and donated purple wool will be provided. Meet and greet new people, coffee and cookies and the sense of doing a wonderful project for the local hospitals will make for wonderful Saturday morning, you can help by knitting or crocheting a purple cap to the cause!

 


 

Why It Matters

Children’s Programming at the Gilmanton Year-Round Library

 

Did you know that studies show categorically that children who enter kindergarten without a book-rich experience enter far behind those who have been exposed to books?    The Gilmanton Year-Round Library provides programs, collections and support for parents to all of Gilmanton’s children.

 

There are two story times weekly during the school year, Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m. and Thursdays at 1:30 p.m.  Miss Tasha begins Wednesday sessions with a rousing sing along including both classic children’s songs and new favorites.  Both sessions feature interactive flannel board stories and a themed craft. Children of all ages are welcome to attend.

 

The Gilmanton Year-Round Library offers monthly programs for children as well. On the first Thursday of each month we host a “crafternoon” which allows children to explore different art mediums.  No need to be super crafty, just have a willingness to try something new . . . and maybe get a little messy!  An Afternoon at the Movies films, shown on Gilmanton School early release dates, are enjoyed by as many as thirty or more children every month.  The wildly popular Lego Club provides an opportunity for friends to meet up and create 3D imaginings which are then put on display in the Children’s Room.  A full listing of children’s programming can be found on the Library’s website – www.gyrla.org. There is something for everyone in the Gilmanton Year-Round Library’s Children’s Room, but and the staff is always open to suggestions for new programs.

 

Besides providing children with rich experiences, the programs afford parents, grandparents and caregivers the opportunity to reconnect, socialize and network in a relaxed setting.

 

The  collection of children’s books, books on cd, music cds and dvds continues to grow.  If you don’t find what you are looking for, don’t forget that the Library  participates in the New Hampshire State Interlibrary Loan program and can request titles from other libraries at no cost to you.

 

Stop in soon and “check us out!”
