Our Summer Reading Program will begin next week!  The theme this year is “Catch the Reading Bug!”  Our program begins on Monday July 7 and runs until Friday August 15.  The summer reading program is open to all kids ages 1-17.  Spend the summer with us learning about bugs, eat some bugs, make buggy crafts, go on a bug scavenger hunt and lots more!

Be sure to stop in anytime the week of July 7 and sign your child up for the program.  Then through the course of the next six weeks your child needs to read at least 8 hours.  If completing this requirement, your child will be invited to attend our graduation ceremony complete with prizes and ice cream sundaes!

To kick off our Summer Reading Program, Jay Mankita will be here performing, “The Day the Library Went Wild- Big on Bugs” on Monday July 7 at 6:30pm.    Please join us to see what he plans to do to our little library!

On Friday July 11 at 6:30pm, Gaming Club meets once again!  Bring your handheld gaming system and join other enthusiasts as you share games and fun!  You can only bring 3 games and EVERYTHING must be marked with your name.

The Friends Annual Book Sale will be Saturday July 12 from 9am to 2pm.  Stop in and browse and get some great books for summer time reading!  Hardcovers are $1.00 each or 3 for $2.00 and paperbacks are 50 cents each or 3 for a $1.00.

On Wednesday July 16 at 6:30pm, we will be having an Eric Carle Night!  Have you ever felt like a grouchy ladybug?  Or how about a lonely firefly?  Don't worry; you're not the only one!  Come and hear some Eric Carle stories, play some games and make a buggy craft!

Join Tom Lemery, Local Storyteller, on Friday July 18 at 6:30pm, for Buggy Stories!

Want to catch some bugs?  Join us on Monday July 21 at 6:30pm as we go on a bug scavenger hunt.  Search for a variety of bugs and nature items.  Everyone wins a prize!  We need adults to head the teams so please join us!!!

Moreland the Magician is back with his “Catch The Reading Bug” magic show on Wednesday July 23 at 6:30pm.  Please bring the family in and join us!

College is over and you have all these textbooks leftover that the school won’t let you trade in?  Donate them to our library!  We are accepting textbooks that are newer than 2005 to sell in our online bookstore.  What a way to help out the library while cleaning your house! 

The weather is warmer, grab a few good books and head outside to read.  We are open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 12pm to 8pm, Tuesday 10am to 6pm and Saturday 10am to 4pm.
