Welcome to week 3 of our Summer Reading
Program.
Although the library will be closed on
Friday and Saturday, July 3-4, we will be busier
than ever the rest of the time.
.
On Thursday, July 2, all our readers are
invited to join the Lunch Bunch at noon, and then
participate in activities from 12:30 - 2.
Games and crafts, stories and
munchies.
Obviously, there will not be Preschool
Story Time on Saturday, but we will recommence it
next week.
Next Tuesday, July 7 our Senior Book &
Movie Group will meet at noon. While chomping on
pizza, they will talk about "Inkheart"
by Cornelia Funke - and
then watch the movie.
Wednesday the Summer School classes come
down in the morning for some storytelling and quiet
time reading.
And on Thursday, July 9 we will have a
special performer. Claire
Morkin, professional singer and performer
wondrous has agreed to share some of her talent with
us. Kids and adults alike are welcome, at 1 p.m. at
the Elroy Public Library.
Thanks to all of our wonderful
volunteers who helped make our Book Sale such a
success!
First and foremost, kudos to the FFA
kids who took time off from school to carry all the
boxes of book sale items up from the basement.
Us old folks really
appreciate your strong legs and backs.
Next, thanks to the Friends of the
Library team who organized the sale, put up flyers,
counted up the money and even made the baked goods
to sell.
Finally, thanks are due to
Thrivent Financial,
which will be matching the money made in the sale.
These funds are used to buy library materials and
sponsor speakers. Everyone wins.

Elroy's Summer Reading program has
begun. If you haven't registered yet, come in to
the library and do so. Then come back weekly to
show us how much you've read. For each unit of time
you record, you will get a spin on the Bingo cage.
Keep your card and when you get a Bingo!,
you can choose a prize from the Bingo Basket.
There will also be weekly Challenges for
extra spins and fun. When you come in, ask for the
sheet. Find where you live on the 'spiderweb'
map, and decorate the Dragon's Lair- if you dare!
Activities times begin this Thursday,
June 18, at noon. Bring your lunch, and we will
provide a dessert and something to drink. Enjoy
them under the trees (if it isn't raining) and then
come in for activities. This Thursday, you will get
dirt under your fingernails as you play in the mud -
or actually potting soil. What are we going to
grow?
Also, our Junior
and Senior Book/Movie Clubs are filling up. Want to
join?
1.
The Junior Book/Movie Club is for kids 3rd grade and
under. We will be reading "The Tale of
Despereaux." Then on
June 23 we will gather for noon lunch, a book talk
and a movie on our big, big screen. Come in to get
your book and start enjoying now.
2.
The Senior Book/Movie Club is for kids 4th grade and
up through 8th grade. We have copies of "Inkheart"
waiting for participants to pick up. Read it and
come to the lunch at noon, and stay for the movie on
July 30.
