Catch a library program this month!

There are a few more weeks left of summer before the kids go back to school.  Schedule a visit to the library in the coming weeks! We have a lot of great programs scheduled. Library card not required! Though if you don’t have one, check out the details on the library website and we can set you up with one before the school year commences.

The summer reading program has wrapped for the kids and teens.  The High Readers Party was this past week for those who read more than 35 hours in the month of June.  The Ice Cream Party, a chance to pick up certificates and t-shirts for the kids and teens will be held on Friday, August 2 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.  The adult summer reading program has a few more weeks to go. 

On Tuesday, July 23 at 2 p.m. a session of Pictionary will be held with our children’s librarian Casandra.  Let your inner artist out in a friendly game.  Don’t worry if your dogs look a little bit like elephants.  Bring your friends for even more fun.

Other kid programs this month include Chess on Thursdays at 2 p.m. and Sports on the Lawn on Fridays at 11 a.m.

On Thursday, July 25 at 6:30 p.m. Book Chat will be held. Share and discuss what you’ve read lately with your fellow readers.  It’s also a time to see what the library has recently acquired.

Local author Markie Adcock will be holding a book signing on Saturday, July 27 at 10 a.m.  She’ll be selling and signing copies of her first book “Palomino Blue”. 

The theme for this month’s Recipe Swap on Monday, July 29 at 6:30 p.m. is ice cream.  Bring recipes for ice cream (or something cool and sweet).  One of our staffers is quite the fan of making ice cream.
The library will have a booth at the Fair this year the first week in August. If you’re out and about, stop by and say hello!

It’s not this month, but check out “Ladies Night” by Mary Kay Andrews, to get a start on the August Library and Lunch pick. The chat will take place on Tuesday, August 13 at noon.  The novel follows Grace Stanton who finds herself locked out of her home, checking account, and her beloved blog after she catches her husband cheating and torpedoes his pricey sports car.  She starts attending court-mandated weekly therapy session with three other women and one man.  Their “divorce coach” starts acting suspiciously and they decide to start their own Wednesday “Ladies’ Night” sessions.   

For the latest library programming take a peek at the library website or grab a newsletter from the circulation desk. Stay tuned and connected through our social media pages.  If you have any questions or suggestions about books or programs don’t hesitate to ask.  See you at the library this month!
