Only 10 days before the Annual Book Sale! At 10:00 a.m. Friday, June 13 the book sale opens with a wide variety of books, movies and audio resources. For the next week the books are being set-up in the meeting room downstairs. There are plenty of books for most reading tastes. All proceeds from the book sale go to support the children services. The book sale also runs Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and the last day will be Monday from 10:00 a.m. to noon. Monday, June 16, is also the beginning of our Summer Reading Program, Fizz, Boom, Read! Children will learn how much fun science is by attending programs that cover chemistry and working with animals. The Teen program is Spark a Reaction and the teens will be able to do some science experiments in the library. All students will learn how much science is in our lives everyday. Learn about geodes, those hollow rocks with crystals inside of them. There is a family program on Tuesday, June 10 from 4-5. Pre-registration is required and it is limited to 50 people. This month we are featuring mysteries in our West Window Display. We have Sherlock Holmes, Spenser, and Ellery Queen among others. Take a look at our display and pick up a good mystery. If you are traveling this summer, remember to get an audiobook for the road. We have over 500 audiobooks available on CD's both fiction and non-fiction. Make your trip a listening experience. This Friday marks the 70th anniversary of the Allied Invasion of Europe at Normandy, France. There are very few Veterans left who took part of these landings. It was the largest invasion fleet ever assembled and it resulted in the liberation of France by the end of August and after 11 months, the war in Europe came to an end. Remember you fathers and grandfathers who fought in those dark days. The staff is slowly getting used to the new operating system and out goal is to have a general mastery of it before Summer Reading begins. As the summer comes nearer, remember to check out the Farmer's Market on Friday afternoons for fresh vegetables, honey and real maple syrup. It helps to support our local farmer's and you can't do better than garden fresh vegetables. Until next week, be safe. John
