Carolyn Lowery, Children's Room staff member who
developed the "Music and Movement" program at
the Forsyth County Public Library, prepares chil
dren for a period of animated activity at the pro
gram's new home in the Milton Rhodes Center for
the Arts.
Arts Council welcomes
public library program
:o downtown arts center
SPECIAL TO
THE CHRONICLE
The Arts Council of
Winston-Salem and
Forsyth County welcomed
"Music and Movement,"
the Children s Room signa
ture program for kids from
infants to kindergartners
and their caregivers.
It is among library serv
ices that have moved dur
ing the two-year construc
tion period when the
Forsyth County Central
Library is no longer "cen
tral" but still the sum of its
parts that are scattered
about the city.
The treasured North
Carolina Collection, for
instance, has a new home
in the Forsyth County
administration building.
Other programs have found
suitable homes.
Chris Jones, The Arts
Council's chief operating
officer, tells us why the
council welcomed the
library program.
"We are looking for
ways to make the Milton
Rhodes Center for the Arts
Center more welcoming
and vibrant, from top to
bottom and throughout the
entire day and evening. A
morning program like
"Music and Movement"
certainly fits the bill.
"Caregivers, usually
mothers, come in pushing
strollers - some with two
or three kids in tow - and
head for our newly up fit
ted Mountcastle Forum.
Now also a performance
space, as well a venue for
meetings and receptions, it
has a new floor that scores
of boisterous kids cannot
harm a bit. There is a lot of
music and ", to be sure, but
that's just fine with us,"
Jones said. "And we
already had addressed
noise considerations while
prepping the room for
music and theatrical per
formances."
Nan LaRosee,
Children s Room director
at the central library, says
"Music and Movement" is
I
offered every second and
fourth Tuesday of the
month from 11 to 11:30
a.m. The program is free
and open to the public.
"The Central Library
has been offering the pro
gram for about three and a
half years. The Walkertown
Branch was first and start
ed offering it a year or so
earlier. It replaced the tradi
tional story time at the
Central Library that was
fading in popularity, and
the very first week, 25
showed up, 30 the next and
it kept growing," said
LaRosee.
Average attendance
now is 70-80, with the
number sometimes going
over 150 during the
library's summer reading
program.
Walk into the
Mountcastle Forum and
you will see kids march
ing, dancing, singing and
keeping rhythm with
sticks, maracas, rhythm
eggs, and jingle bells and
then, on cue, falling down
and feigning nap time for a
few seconds as the music
suggests.
Library staff use a vari
ety of children's music by
such performers as Jim
Gill, Greg & Steve, Bari
Koral and Ralph's World,
along with updated folk
songs, a capella, and rock
and roll classics.
They look for music
that requires listening skills
in order to interact with the
song at the correct time and
in the correct order, and
encourages movement.
Staff have found that
participants like to be fully
engaged and actively con
tributing to all of the activ
ities. Caregivers are free to
join in or visit among
themselves, making new
friends.
Inquiries about "Music
and Movement" can be
made by contacting Nan
LaRosee, Children's Room
Director, Forsyth County
Public Library 336-703

Officers: Avoid jury duty scam
SPECIAL TO
THE CHRONICLE
The Forsyth County
Sheriff s Office (FCSO)
has received several reports
recently of a scam to have
money sent to a location to
avoid incarceration.
Since Monday, Feb. 16,
five separate incidents have
occurred within Forsyth
County to residents who
have been contacted by
telephone by individuals
claiming to be members of
the FCSO.
The caller explains to
the person (potential vic
tim) that he/she has missed
jury duty and was subse
quently in contempt of
court. In order to avoid
being arrested and confined
in the local jail, the person
will need to make arrange
ments to meet in order to
pay the court order money
to avoid incarceration or to
be taken into custody and
transported to the jail.
The FCSO does not
conduct business in such a
manner as recorded above.
If a person fails to appear
as directed by a Jury
Summons, resolution to the
matter will not be conduct
ed by telephone requiring a
person to transfer money.
If someone is contact
ed by telephone by person
claiming to be a deputy
sheriff directing a money
transfer be made or immi
nent incarceration shall
occur, the resident should
obtain the caller's name,
telephone number, and
other relevant information
before ending the call.
The resident should
then immediately contact
the local law enforcement
for verification. Theperpe
trator(s) has been providing
the potential victims with
some of the victim's per
sonal information in an
effort to validate their
scam. Once, the perpetra
tor was able to manipulate
the caller ID to reflect the
call was being placed from
the Sheriff's Office.
