Starting with movie night last Thursday, summer has officially begun at the library.\u00c2\u00a0 Our first movie was Bee Movie<\/em>, which was a surprising hit (we reached capacity in the room, holy smokes!) and which both Jim and I enjoyed – once the problem with the sound was resolved.\u00c2\u00a0 (How frustrating to hit play on a movie for a huge crowd, only to find out that the sound wasn’t working!)<\/p>\n

Next up:\u00c2\u00a0 the Ice Cream Social, which is scheduled for Tuesday.\u00c2\u00a0 Hopefully we won’t have to use a rain date this year.\u00c2\u00a0 And coming up on July 1, the first “real” program of the summer, a visit from Audubon Ark as they do a program on Habitats.\u00c2\u00a0 They’ll bring a skunk and painted turtle with them to show to the kids; it should be a fantastic program.<\/p>\n

Other great programs coming up this summer include:\u00c2\u00a0 “Hurdy Gurdy, Monkey and Me,” a real organ grinder with his monkey Coco; another Audubon Ark program on Backyard Wildlife, with an opossum and a mallard duck; “Animal Antics,” a puppet show by Sparky Davis, who has a fantastic reputation; and a concert with Davis Bates and Roger Tincknell, perennial favorites at the library.\u00c2\u00a0 Not to forget the three other family movie nights – 101 Dalmatians<\/em>, The Spiderwick Chronicles<\/em>, and Nancy Drew<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0 Lisa will be running four movie nights for ages thirteen and up as well.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 And, of course, there will be book group meetings, one meeting for each grade from three to six and the teen book group.\u00c2\u00a0 For the younger crowd, Jennifer will be running Mother Goose on the Loose storytimes every Wednesday, except for the two\u00c2\u00a0Wednesdays that Alex Andrews will be visiting with her Music Together program.<\/p>\n

It’s a full summer, with lots and lots of fantastic events.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m psyched.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
