Happy August!
I just wanted to keep you posted on what we've been up to this summer - and what there is still time for!
Our book buddies program is in full swing. We have over 50 "buddies" here on Thursday afternoons. The little ones have been reading to our teens (and vice versa) and all have been doing a super job. Miss Fran and I are so pleased with all of our buddies! The little ones just ADORE you teens. We love to see them light up when they see you. Good job! Next year you should think about joining us. Aside from the adoration, did I mention we have cookies and pretzels after every ses
sion? 
We just finished the coolest workshop on writing haiku and bookmaking. Local poet and book artist Rick Black, helped us write haiku and showed us how to make our own beautiful books. They are on display in the library by the reference desk. Please come by and admire our work. We are rightfully very proud! We are lifelong Rick Black fans and we hope he comes back again to work with us.
Also, we still have several nights of summer reading left. Monday nights a t 7 pm. Stop by and tell us what you're reading and to socialize. See me for details or just show up on a Monday night. This Monday, the 6th, is game night, the next is movie night and the last night, August 20th, we party with guitar hero and karaoke! Prizes for everyone!
We still have a whole lot of summer left..don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
