The Library Center of the Ozarks has a new Children Services supervisor, Lia Hitz. Lia grew up in St. Charles County and says she lived at the library where her mom worked. Lia graduated from MSU and has her master’s degree in library science from Mizzou. For the past five years she worked as a Youth Programing Specialist within the Christian County library district.
This summer the library held 16 total programs for children with a total attendance of 1,506 kids who had a great time! Some of those programs include a summer reading program with prizes for reading, craft projects, STEM activities, LEGO projects, preschool movement classes, performers like Marty the magician, speakers from the Discovery Center and Wonders of Wildlife.
Currently, she is busy creating programs for the fall. Some have been scheduled and some have yet to be put on the books but here is a sneak peek of what’s to come: Lego Club, Teddy Bear Picnic, Fall Craft Night, and Building Play Day, just to name a few. Plus, hundreds of new children’s books have been ordered and are ready for check out.
