June is here and with it comes the Summer Reading Program! The general focus for this year’s program is HEROES. 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 general topic for adults, ages 18 and up, is Escape the Ordinary. We have something for everyone. You will not be left out. We have books for everyone, young and old, with every topic under the sun. Every book counts toward the Summer Reading Program prizes. Yes, oh yes, we have prizes. Sign up begins June 1, at both branches. Come into the library, sign up and start reading. Pick up a calendar with all the Summer Reading Program events and don’t miss anything.
Through June and July there will be NO story time. Story Time resumes in August. Until then join the Summer Reading Program with your children.
Want to write a simple letter on MS Word? Just a simple letter. Nothing else. Nothing fancy. If your needs don’t extend to all the high level word processing that MS Word provides, this computer class is for you. Sign up at the circulation desk, then join us for a class on how to create a basic letter. Monday, June 1, 6:00 p.m.
Come for the Monday Night Book Club, on June 1. (Sorry for the confusion. The date is June 1 not June 2 as previously listed in the paper.) Discuss One Thousand White Women: The Journals of May Dodd by Jim Fergus and meet new friends who share your interest in reading. Rumor has it that snacks and coffee are available to everyone even those who didn’t quite get through the whole book. This book club meets the first Monday of every month, so if June’s meeting doesn’t fit into your schedule, keep July in mind.
Remember our program One Thousand Books before Kindergarten 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 fun 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 he read when he was little and too young to remember reading.
Mr. Bond the Science Guy is coming to the Adams Memorial Library for our first Summer Reading Event! If you’ve never seen Mr. Bond, you are in for a really interesting hour. For over 20 years Mr. Bond has presented programs that make science fun for children of all ages. Don’t miss Mr. Bond. Registration is not required for this event. This event will be held in the Jennings Community Room.
Like Mr. Bond? Can’t get enough? Want to have more science? We hear you! We agree! Sign up for Mr. Bond’s program on the Science of Cotton Candy which will be held at 2 p.m. right after the general science program. Signing up will be necessary for this program and waiting to sign up after the first program may be too late. Participation in the Science of Cotton Candy is limited, so don’t delay. Sign up today.
Stay with the library this summer for fun, fun, fun. Pool party, pizza, movies and popcorn, carnival, prizes, more prizes, and books, books, books. Come by the library for a full list of events so you don’t miss a thing. Get prepared for a great summer. Sign up begins June 1.
