Summer is Here!

Summer Reading is in full swing. Our theme this year, One World, Many Stories has inspired everyone to create some amazing art.

We've created our own countries and designed their flags, drawn maps of our neighborhoods and imagined what it would be like to visit foreign places.

All the artwork is on display in the Rainforest Room so come admire the masterpieces!

The library has also seen lots of visitors at our programs.

Doug Roysdon of the Mock Turtle Marionette Theatre performed several stories with his beautifully carved marionettes and puppets.

Christine Kallevig showed everyone her Storigami, displaying her creations and teaching us how to fold our own.

We've still got lots of programs, storytimes and Bingo coming up in July. And it's not too late to register for the program to win books and prizes just for reading!

Miss Bridget leads an energetic storytime with If You're a Monster and You Know It!
