Art Exhibit & Ice Cream Social: please RSVP!

In order to better plan and prepare for our Summer Program Finale Event, we're asking that participants who plan to display a project in the Art Exhibit please let us know by THIS FRIDAY so we can be sure we have adequate display space and enough ribbons!

The
Art Exhibit & Ice Cream Social will take place on the Library's lawn on Saturday, August 15th. (We will not be using the Town Hall, as was previously stated.) Projects need to be delivered to the library between 9-9:30am, with judging beginning at 9:30 and ribbons awarded at 10. The ribbons will remain on the projects, and the projects will remain on display until 2pm so that everyone can come see the wonderful spacey creations you have been working on this summer!
More info about the ICE CREAM will be posted soon!

Starship Adventures ...



Be sure to take a peek at our WALL Of STAR READERS in the library! There are stars representing summer readers who have completed their 25hrs of reading and there are also photos of Space Buddies having Summer Fun! Don't forget to send in YOUR photos to share, and continue to keep track of your reading! You can redeem 'stars' for prizes from the treasure chest until August 22!
