July came in with a bang, as it always does, and we now begin the countdown to the first day of school sometime in August. But we’re not going to dwell on that now. Summer Reading is what’s on our minds. If you haven’t already signed up, come on it and do it today. It’s not too late to join the program and start reading books for fun and prizes. Come on in, get your program materials and start reading. This year for children birth to 4 years and children 4 to 12 years the subject is Every Hero Has a Story. For Teens, ages 12 to 17, the theme is Unmask. The topic for adults, ages 18 and up, is Escape the Ordinary.
Through June and July there will be NO story time at Adams Memorial Library, however story time is continuing at the Auburntown Branch. Story Time will resume in August at Adams Memorial. Until then you can attend the Auburntown story time and join the Summer Reading Program with your children.
The first Monday of the month always brings the Monday Night Book Club. Come by the library on July 6, at 6:30 p.m. and join a lively literary discussion. Everyone is welcome.
July 7 we have our fifth summer movie of the season. We have a great crowd coming in for our weekly movie but we still have plenty of space for YOU! Come out and enjoy a movie in the cool with popcorn and juice.
All free and all for you. Can’t wait until movie day to know what we’re showing? Come by or call the library to find out. Due to licensing considerations, we can’t print the title in the paper, but you’ll love it.
Thursday, July 9, we have another musical program for Summer Reading with Ray Doe Me, a guitarist who along with making music “presents basic ‘sound science’ explaining the waves of sound that bounce around us everywhere we go – just like ripples in water!” Music and science, what could be better. This is sure to be educational as well as entertaining. Don’t miss it!
Don’t forget our ongoing program One Thousand Books before Kindergarten that continues all year. If you have a child of pre-kindergarten age, stop by the circulation desk and sign up. You’ll get a packet of materials to keep a record of your child’s progress as well as games and activities. This will be a wonderful addition to your child’s memory book. Someday your child will be astonished at all the books she read when she was little and too young to remember reading.
Only a few weeks remain in the Summer Reading Program as well as in the summer months. Come on in to the library and get started reading for the summer. There’s still plenty of time. We’re looking for you. Come and see us!
