Caterpillar Program Huge Success!


In honor of the 40th anniversary of the book, “The Very Hungry Caterpillar,” written by Eric Carle, over 30 NFLS libraries created large caterpillars last month.


Children ages 10 and under who read books each week during the month of November were able to add “parts” to the caterpillar.


NFLS partnered with Weidner Center Presents, Inc., to promote reading and fun in this five-week program.

Bookmarks were given to every child who signed up, and prizes were raffled off during the month.


One child from each library won a pair of tickets to see “The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Other Eric Carle Favorites,” at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 23, 2010, at the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts in Green Bay.
