Can you believe it’s August already? Only 4 more Summer Reading programs! Check these out and be sure to join us for any or all of them =)

Join Miss Pickering for a drop in craft between 10am and 12pm tomorrow, Saturday the 30th.

Come on back at noon (or stay all morning!) for ice pops and Pokemon catching with Justine (Pokemon GO! is an app for your smart phone. You’ll need this app!). Can’t wait to see you at the library tomorrow!

Meet us outside the library this Saturday, July 30th at Noon for Pokemon and Ice Pops! Free ice pops will be available from 12-12:30 p.m. and we’ll be dropping lures too! Be sure to show Justine which Pokemon you catch at the library!

 

Be sure to join us for fun and games from 4:30 to 6 tonight at the library! Justine will have these available to play or you can bring your own!

 

We had 14 photo submissions and over 100 votes for our photo contest to find a photo for our new library cards and magnets! We are happy to announce TWO winners!

Thank you to everyone who submitted a photo! Stay tuned for more information about when the new library cards and magnets will be available!

Are you participating in our adult reading challenge this year? We have punch cards with 52 challenges on them (read a political memoir, a trilogy, a book with less than 100 pages, etc.). For each challenge you complete you receive one raffle ticket. We’ve drawn two winners so far this year, with two more winners to come!

Struggling to find a book to meet some of the challenges? We have a great display on the table in the front room right now with books that meet some of the challenges! Check it out next time your in. Also feel free to ask one of the library staff members for a recommendation!

If you’ve finished your first punch card (because we know how voraciously some of you read!) you can grab a second card and start again! 

Don’t forget to join us at 1pm today for a fun, buggy program with the Grafton Museum! 

Be sure to join us tomorrow, July 27th at 1pm for an interactive program on Incredible Insects with the Grafton Museum! See you there =)
