While everyone is seeking ways to ensure children’s physical, academic, and social development needs are being met, Watonga Public Library continues to provide free resources to area families. The cancelation of many activities and services that schools and communities offer can provide a renewed opportunity to take greater advantage of the enrichment tools available at a public library.
Checkers Library TV is a monthly half hour television style show aimed at providing entertainment for children that illustrates the benefits of reading in an exciting way. Library patrons can find a link to these episodes on the Library web site at www.watongapl.okpls.or g or register at watongareads.readsquared.com. Click on picture of the tv to access the latest episode of Checkers. Customers who register can log books online to keep track of reading. There will also be weekly shorter segments of the show available as well.
The program stars Checkers the Inventor, his vacuum robot sidekick Snoozer, and special guests. Every episode is packed with fast-paced segments designed to engage and captivate the audience: Dr. Dan offers weekly tips for staying healthy and safe, Snoozer tells his joke of the week, and Mrs. Hamilton presents her Storytime Theater every month. There are also book recommendations, interviews, art projects, science experiments, toy reviews, and viewer mail.
Checkers the Inventor has produced multimedia educational entertainment for libraries, schools, online platforms and live events for the past 10 years. He appeals to children ages 2 to 10.
