Juggling Workshop and Library Closing

Can't believe we're already into week 6 of SPR--it's really flown by this year!

Our last scavenger hunt clue is out, and you have until July 17th to tell us all six in order to get your prize :)

The juggling workshop is Wednesday at 4PM--it's only $5.00, and should be a lot of fun.  We only have 15 available spaces, so the sooner you sign up, the better your chance of getting in!

We'll be closed this Thursday, July 3rd, in observance of Independence Day, but will be open regular hours (10-5) on Saturday, and then it's business as usual on Monday the 7th.


Hope everyone has a great week, and an enjoyable holiday weekend :)

YA stuff for summer

We're starting in on Week 4 of the Summer Reading Program, and things are going great.  We've already registered over 3,000, with about 500 of those being teens--and we're only halfway through the program!  If you haven't signed up, there's still plenty of time--we'll register until the last day of the program on July 17th.  You can keep up with your reading time on paper and just show it to us when you come in to register--anything you've kept track of since May 27th will count :)

We've still got several teen movies/programs going on--our movie this week is Ender's Game (rated PG-13).  Admission is free, and drinks and popcorn are 50 cents each.  Movies don't count on your time sheet, but they're a great way to beat the heat (the air conditioning actually works in the meeting rooms!)

We also have two teen workshops left that will be taking place the following two weeks.  Science Behind Cooking will be at 4pm on Wednesday, June 25th, and our juggling workshop with Todd Key (one of the Zucchini Brothers from the Georgia Renaissance Festival) will be the next Wednesday, July 2nd, also at 4pm.  Each workshop is $5.00 (no partial refund), and all you have to do to register is let a staff member know you're coming and pay.

Our movie for the last week of the program will be Catching Fire, the second in the Hunger Games series--we'll show it at 10am on Wednesday, July 16th, also in the Coosa Room.  Time sheets will be due the next day, July 17th, before closing at 8:30 pm.  Entries for the coloring contest, design contest, essay contest, and photo contest will be due on July 10th--the Scavenger Hunt and Guess How Many will go through the 17th.

We're excited at the prospect of beating our total for next year--we had 3,513, and are within 400 of beating that.  Come help us break our record, and get some goodies (and maybe even weekly drawing prizes) for reading you probably have to do anyway for school :).
