Friendship Bracelets

 

Last week, despite the stormy weather, we had a great group of kids join us for our friendship bracelet craft.  It was fun teaching the kiddos how to make the bracelets and seeing the patterns they created!

Pick a Better Snack

 Amy Green joined us last week to present "Pick a Better Snack" for our Summer Reading Program.  She shared a lot of information about how much sugar is in the foods we eat/drink.  The kids were surprised to see how much sugar is in some of their favorite drinks.

Brain Games in the Library

 As part of our Summer Reading Program, we hosted Brain Games at the Library last Tuesday.  The kids had fun building puzzles, constructing with Legos, and playing games.

Remember Your Library Card

Despite being a small piece of plastic, your library card is important.  It allows us to checkout movies, books, and computers to you.  By using your library card we are able to ensure all checkouts are to the correct person and it cuts down on system errors.  Please remember to bring your card when you come in to check out.

During the month of July we are encouraging patrons to bring in their cards.  We will allow you to checkout only one time without a card, after that you will need to bring in your card to checkout.

Lost your card?  We can replace them once at no charge, additional replacements are $2.
