Oxford Library welcomes back award-winning author
OXFORD – Suzanne Bloom, local author and illustrator, will once again provide a morning of learning, fun and crafts during her “Wishing Star” program at 10 a.m. on April 14.
Bloom has written and /or illustrated 13 childrens books and said she enjoys visiting the Oxford Library and introducing her new works to the local young readers.
During the Wishing Star Workshop, Bloom will read a story about wishing upon a star before letting the kids loose on a huge variety of arts and crafts supplies so they can create their very own.
“It really ties in with our summer reading program, which is called Dream Big, Read,” said library director Nancy Wilcox. “It’s about the power of wishing, dreaming and imagination.”
The program is targeted at children through grade 3; however, Wilcox said that most often older children enjoy the program as well even if they’re just assisting a younger sibling.
Participants will receive a large matte board star to decorate with a variety of feathers, buttons and various art supplies. Wilcox explained that Bloom spares no expense when it comes to arts and crafts supplies and always brings with her what can only be called “doo-dads” of every shape, size and color.
And of course the best part: everyone gets to keep their magic star.
“Suzanne’s programs are always filled with lots of fun, laughter and creativity,” said Wilcox. “She enjoys the kids and the kids love her.”
The program is funded in part by the Chenango County Council of the Arts and the NYS Council on the Arts through a decentralization grant.
