After School and No School Day Activities (Including Summer)
The Power Library is also named the Bayless Library, is a branch library located inside the Farmington Boys & Girls Club and staffed by the Farmington Public Library. Approximately 2,500 books are available for checkout with a Farmington Public Library Card. The 12 computers are used for club tech classes, homework, online research and Internet. The library also serves the day classes at the club and encourages reading and participation for the summer reading program sponsored by the New Mexico State Library.
It was certainly a fun day for the members of the Farmington Boys & Girls Club. We had a very special guest, Nate Begay, who voluntarily came to the Power Library to read a few of Dr. Seuss’s classic books. He also entertained the kids with some musical renditions that the Club Members could sing along with too.
The Cat in the Hat along with a few other Seuss characters also came to the Birthday Bash to celebrate with kids.
Everyone must have a Portfolio to use a computer. Computer time is set up for 15 minutes. Everyone must do a Power Hour page, homework or read before using a computer, unless computer is used for typing homework.
