Hello,

This is a big weekend in Vicksburg as well as at the library.  There will be a car show, pancake breakfast and art show over the weekend.  Of course the Farmer's Market on Friday with a lot of great food and crafts.  Homemade maple syrup, locally havested honey, handmade cutting boards, and beefalo is just the beginnig of all that the vendors have for sale.  The early vegetables are starting to come in so they will be available now. 

For the Library, the annual booksale begins at 10:00 a.m. on Friday and runs until 5:00 p.m.  The hours will be the same for Saturday.  Come to the library and go downstairs, the books are sorted out and fill our basement.  I have been down there looking at the titles and the assortment is amazing.  From mysteries to westerns, from children's to professional. 

Summer Reading sign up begins on Monday, 6 June, at 10:00 in the morning.  Grade school children will need to have a parent or guardian to register.  Tweens and teens can register for the program on their own but if they need a card, a parent will need to come in with them. The first children's program, Binder Park Zoo, is limited to 150 attendees by Zoo policy.  If you want to attend this program you must register to attend when you register for the Summer Reading program.   Only those who are registered will be allowed admitance into this program.  No other children's program has limited registration.  For Young Adults, their first program, Zombie Prom, requires registration and only those who are pre-registered will be allowed
entrance that night. Other Young Adult will also require registration but it will not be limited.

Registration will continue throughout the reading program and the program is open to all children in the south county area.  If the child does not live in the Vicksburg District Library service area (Brady and Schoolcraft Townships and Village of Vicksburg) or in the contract townships, (Wakeshma and Pavillion Townships),  a special summer reading card will be issued to them that expires on 8/31/2013.

Until next week, be safe and keep reading
