Meet me at the Library this summer!

Are you going to around this summer? I am, and I'll be right here at the library.

Monday nights at 7 pm I hope to see you at our YNK summer reading nights! You Never Know what we'll be doing. Check the calendar to see the events we have planned...movie nights, a murder mystery party, games, even Guitar Hero! Sign up for Summer Reading at the front desk and get a packet of info so you know what we're doing or just show up a t a meeting and we'll sign you up then. We start July 9th with an evening of CSI! It will be a crime if you don't show up....groan...actually I just promise it will be better than that joke.

Or - be a Book Buddy! Let a child show off his/her reading skills to you this summer. Thursday afternoons at 1 pm we'll be meeting our book buddies and reading, drawing and preparing an aesop's fable skit to perform with our buddies at the celebration party in August. You'll get a t-shirt, ice cream, and a new buddy. You can never have enough buddies...and these are small and don't take up much space on the couch. Get an application off the website or stop in and see me.

What else will we be doing? Check the calendar for specific dates and times, but basically....

Remember DEAR time, Drop Everything and Read?! It's back in fashion here at the library. Tuesday afternoons in July at 3 pm. Bring a beach towel and curl up on the floor with a good book or magazine! Join us when you can.

Chess Club returns! Tuesday afternoons in August. Led by Jack Yang, our local champ who will help us improve and let us test our new skills on him!

Haiku/Book making. 2 mornings. One will be spent on a nature walk and then we'll write haiku. The next day we will making our own little books with our haiku and some artwork. Rick Black will teach us how to do it all!

And finally, our
Webmaster Workshop, the last week in August. Sign up early, we have limited space. Leora Wenger, local web designer will lead the class. Learn about good web design and how to write HTML and use CSS. You will be creating your own new teen pages for the library's website.

It doesn't look like I'll be getting to the beach much, so if you want to see me you'll have to stop by the library. I'll be at the beach after you go back to school :)

See you!
