Let the Summer Reading Begin!

Hi, all,

Join us Monday Night at 7 pm for our kick-off of our summer reading program!
At 7 I will collect your reading logs and dole out your raffle tickets.
You will get an extra raffle ticket for showing me your library card. How else can you check out some of the new books we have just in - just for you.

At 7:30....
We will host a Crime Scene Investigation program, thanks to Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office and our friend, Bruce Kaplan. Come see what it takes to break down a crime scene and how science is used to solve mysteries. Solve a crime yourself while you're here!

We will pull raffle tickets for prizes at the end of the evening (8:45)
YNK what you might win!

Don't forget to look for photos of Fran Lee and I "around town". Each week they will be in a new location. When you spot us come in and fill out a raffle ticket and tell us where you saw us. Prizes each week!
They are out there as I write this.....Why did I agree to this? Whose idea was this, Sophia?!


Happy reading! I just finished 13 Little BLue Envelopes - those fans of Sisterhood books will love this one. Her latest Girl at Sea is just out as well. Get your name on the request list for it - it's been out since it came in! I am now in the middle of Maximum Ride. To my delight - I'm enjoying it! I think the Erasers are pretty cool and I keep forgetting Max is a girl...what does that say? The third in the series is out (literally - checked out) but we have several copies.

Need some suggestions? No better way than to come to our meetings and see what your friends are reading. I'm going to start a Recommended Reads book to keep in the YA room. Who wants to help? Stop by and share some of your favorites.

DEAR Time is Tuesdays at 3 pm. Drop Everything And Read
is very cool. We have air-conditioning. ;) Bring a beach towel and come hangout in our sunny meeting room and read for a few peaceful hours. I had a nice group that met with me last week. Hope to see more of you next Tuesday. Bring a friend. It is another great place to get some reading suggestions. I'll share my favorites.

I hope to see you Monday night!

Also, thanks to all you Book Buddies. We are off to a great start. You did a SUPER job! Muchos Gracias from the whole staff at the library. You make us proud.
Not to worry, we are proud of the rest of you too. ;)
