The summer reading program with the adopted stuffed animals is in full swing. The children are reading to their cuddly friends each day and reporting to our librarian, Lynda, regularly. The Art Show Kits are now available and the participants can choose between canvass and clay.
The artwork can be done in the library or at home, and will be judged at the end of August. The story walks will continue through out the summer.
New books to the library are: Leaving Wisdom by Sharon Butala and Homecoming by Kate Morton.
A pleasant summer read is The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes. It is set in a small town in Kentucky and is the story of a team of women who deliver books to people living in remote areas. They become known as the Pack Horse Librarians. Their project was inspired by Eleanor Roosevelt’s Travelling Libraries Initiative. They travel over brutal, dangerous but beautiful terrain. It is historical fiction and a heart warming love story.
