We have had the second Summer Reading session. Brenda Roberts is doing a great job with the kids. Last week the theme was the moon. They colored “moo’s” to hang on the light fixtures in our front room.
Maralynn Rinker, Nancy Hanaman and I have furnished cookies. We appreciate the volunteers who donate. The kids always like cookies. There are two more weeks of Summer Reading so come on in and enjoy what Brenda has for you.
We have been getting more new books. We still have the contest between adults and the youth. It will finish on Aug. 16. There are some competitive people reading! We will have more on the contest later. Our 75th Anniversary will be coming in the fall.
See you at the library.
