“One World, Many Stories”.  What a great theme!  Planning is underway. Let me know if you have ideas-

Library use is slowing down a bit, leaves are changing and visitors return for weekends only. Change is in the air along with the cool, fresh breeze.  Time to catch up on all those books!  Also time to submit your programming ideas for the coming months. Please include your preferred time and day of the week!

Summer reading continues on Tuesdays.  Come to our 11 am showing of  “The Princess and the Frog” at the Indian Lake Theater.  Prizes for costumed customers!  This program is free and open to all. Wear your tiara!

It’s so hard to stop!  Soooooo….. we will continue to have book/movie Tuesdays at the theater until the end of August and just one more Wednesday night at the library August 18th

Dress as your favorite character in Peter Pan for the movie, 11 am Tuesday, August 17th at the Indian Lake Theater.  All are welcome to this free movie. Popcorn and a drink provided, of course!

So many kids have been reading this summer, and we certainly expect that to continue,  but Make A Splash awards need to be made before the warm summer breezes cease! August 11, we will have special reading awards and prizes along with our final program for the entire family, “Telling Your Story” with Kent Busman.  See you there!!
