    Wow! What a great time we had on Saturday, 3/23/13 @ Columbia Pike Lib. during the American Girl intro. “It was awesome!”, commented my 9 year old twin girls. “We were able to see our friends & their American Girls” & Ms. Desiree was so much fun, she let us make Mardi Gras masks after meeting Cécile Rey from New Orleans during 1853.”

    This short program was such a hit, many parents commented on what a great idea it would be to form an “American Girl Club”. Allowing the girls to get together & talk about the books & maybe even read together or to each other.

    Maybe we can get the girls to bring their dolls to the lib. & leave them over night. The girls can pick up pictures of the dolls reading books, searching for books, on the computer, & maybe having ice cream.
    This was a great time had by all! Can’t wait for the next time!

    So who is responsible for cleaning the dolls and germ proofing them after each use? Not a good idea to spread germs and peras even disease.

      Thanks for asking, Ellen.

      The Library’s Materials Management Division has developed a plan for thoroughly cleaning each doll and accessories every time one is returned.

    Considering the library doesn’t nor should it bother sanitizing every book, computer, DVD or cd, I think that I’d rather overkill. Nothing your kids touch at school has been sanitized. If you’re paranoid, sanitize your dolls and books at pickup perhaps.
