July 3.2013
The Summer Reading program is nearing the half way mark and the enthusiasm of the children continues wth good attendence for our weekly programs. The pre-schoolers got to make catapillars out of old egg cartons and the teens made fruit smoothies. The parents have been very helpful at the programs with helping their children with the pasting and painting of their projects.
A new addition to the children's area is the listening station. Parents with their children or the children alone can sit down in a big, comfortable chair and listen to a book. It is proving to be very popular but our cassette players are all older machines. So I ask our patrons if they have a cassette player that they are no longer using if they would donate it to the library? Even if it is an old Fischer-Price cassette player we would be more than happy to have it.
Check-out the exhibit in our display case this month. It is a display on hostas and it is very informative. I did not realize that there are over 3,000 kinds of hostas and that they are native to Japan. It is really a great exhibt.
Everybody has someone in the family that is impossible to shop for. Usually it is an older family member who has everything they want and if they need something they go a buy it. The library can help solve your dilema. Buy them a book for the library. We will put a plate in the book that recognizes the donation of the book for that person. For examle: This book donated in honor of John Doe's 75th birthday.
New Books on the shelf this week:
Threat Vector by Tome Clancy
The Quarryman's Bride : A Land of shining water series book by Tracie Peterson
Until the end of time by Danielle Steele
Have a happy and safe 4th of July
John
