Only 2 More Weeks Left!

The last two programs of the summer are coming up–have you signed up yet??

For grades 6-9, we have a Duct Tape craft program on Wednesday, July 30th from 7-8 p.m.  We’ll have lots of different colors of tape, which you can transform into a wallet, a bookmark, or something of your own design!  Register at the Youth Services Desk or by phone.

Everyone is invited to our Summer Reading Program closing event, which will be on Friday, August 1st at 2 p.m.  Dave Rudolph will be performing, so grab a seat on the lawn and help us close out the Summer Reading Program with singing, dancing, and lots of craziness!

And for our AWESOME volunteers, please make sure that you’ve RSVP’d to the Volunteer Thank You Party, which will be happening on Friday, August 1st from 12-1 p.m.  We’ve got a great lunch planned, as our way of saying thanks for all of your hard work this summer.  We couldn’t have a Summer Reading Program without our volunteers!

Don’t forget that you can still turn in your Summer Reading logs and collect more prizes (or raffle tickets for the bonus levels!) for the time you spend reading.  We’ll be accepting logs until August 1st, so stop by the Youth Services Department today

Want to volunteer at the library this summer?

Will you be in grade 7 or above this fall? Then stop by the Youth Services desk and pick up a Book Buddies volunteer application! The Book Buddy program pairs teens with younger readers who want to work on their reading over the summer. Choose a couple of fun books and spend between 20 and 45 minutes hanging out with your Buddy. Orientation sessions will be held on Tuesday, June 10th; Wednesday, June 11th; and Thursday, June 12th.

Another great library volunteer opportunity is helping out with the Messenger Library’s Summer Reading Program. Anyone who will be in grade 6 or above this fall can pick up an application and help us make this year’s Summer Reading Program a success! Teens usually work 1 or 2 hour shifts on 1 or more days during the week. You can help out at the Summer Reading desk, assist librarians with cool summer programs, and help us take care of our collection. Orientation sessions will be held on Tuesday, June 10th; Wednesday, June 11th; and Thursday, June 12th.
