First Oral History Hour Tuesday April 17th, 2012!

On Tuesday, April 17, 2012, at 3:30 pm the Library will be hosting its first Oral History Hour. This new program, developed in partnership with FSM archaeologist Adam Thompson and the Pohnpei Office of Historic Preservation, will feature traditional tales from Pohnpei's mythical past told by guest story-tellers. Geared toward a young audience, our hope is that the Oral History Hour program will help educate young Micronesians about their culture and history, instill a sense of pride, and motivate further exploration of the traditional culture and the art of story-telling.

March 2012 is all about Dr. Seuss!

Would you read them in a box? Would you read them with a fox? During the month of March, story hour is all about Dr. Seuss! March 2nd was Dr. Seuss's birthday and all over the world people celebrated by taking time out from school to read his books. He has made reading fun for so many children over the years.

Pohnpei Public Library decided to honor Dr. Seuss by reading a few of his books this month. It was a daunting task to make our selections, as Dr. Seuss wrote 44 books, but we narrowed it down to ten for the month. Join us every Thursday at 3:30 to find out which ones we chose.

You can visit Seussville for more information about Dr. Seuss and activities you can do with your family.
