The CRIT Library was buzzing with excitement August 7th, as children and families gathered for a special Story Time and Cookies event with CRIT Police Officer Andrea Eddy.
Officer Eddy’s lively reading of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff had the children so excited they could hardly sit still. After the story, CRIT Library Technician, Blanca Quintero handed out colorful craft supplies so the children could design their very own “cookies,” with each cookie uniquely decorated to match its young artist’s style.
Officer Eddy shared some fun facts about herself. Her favorite childhood book? The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, a timeless story she now enjoys reading to her own daughter. If she could be any children’s book character, she said she’d be Captain Underpants, because her nephews love the character’s silly adventures. She also shared that becoming a police officer was her dream since childhood.
When asked what advice she’d give to kids who want to follow in her footsteps, Officer Eddy encouraged them to “stay out of trouble, find the right people you want to hang out with, and enjoy being a kid as long as possible.”
The CRIT Library thanks Officer Andrea Eddy for sharing her time and we wish her continued safety in her service to the community.
