School’s almost out for the summer…now what do I read?

The theme for this summer is “Read Beyond the Beaten Path” and once again, we will be using Beanstack to track how much you read.  Not familiar with Beanstack?  Let’s review.

As the school year winds to a close, things are as busy as ever in the children’s room!  We have some new programs coming up and are kicking off “Read Beyond the Beaten Path”, our Summer 2022 reading program.

Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military.  This year Memorial Day falls on Monday, May 30, 2022.

There are some famous children's book authors born in May who you might know.  What better time to read some of their books (or reread them!)

What better time to clean your room than on National Clean Your Room Day?  This is a perfect opportunity to find out what’s under your bed (maybe a couple of library books?) or help a parent/sibling/friend clean their room!

May 4 is known as Star Wars Day, a play on the phrase “May the force be with you”.   Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to reschedule our Star Wars program for this month, but have rescheduled it to this summer. Watch our website and Facebook page for the latest events and programs.

Do you have a favorite poem or author who writes poetry?

Green is the color of April.  Did you know that April is Lawn and Garden month?  Are you planning on planting a garden this year?  Last year, we were lucky enough to receive seed donations and were able to give children seeds to plant at home and grow.  This year, we have partnered with Neighborhood Forest and offered free seedlings to plant (more details below).
