A quick reminder that Summer Reading activities really begin on June 6th. We begin with the Read Dog here at the Library; Dog Day tickets. Every time participant reads to the Dog, one box is checked on the Dog Day card. When the card is complete may turn in to Tina to receive gift card to Freddy’s for one free: Frosted Lemonade (small) or Chocolate Chunk Cookie, or Milkshake (small) or Icedream Cone or cup (small). While the younger folk are reading to the Dog, older youth can work on making a knotted blanket, if finished in time, it will be given as a Summer Reading prize. The Read Dog and Knotted blankets are all summer long at 1:00PM every Tuesday. On Wednesday Doc Gizmo will be back at the Clearwater Middle School to put on a show for us. On Friday, June 9th the older (young adult to adult) folks can do a “Wall Climbing” activity at the Wellness Center as part of the Summer Reading program. The Cowskinn Clydesdales will be in the Middle School parking lot at 10:30AM and then Dr. Kneal will be at the Clearwater Library at 2:00PM on June14th. Join us on Thursday (15th) for the National Guard Rock Concert at noon at the Middle School Theatre. Finish out the week with the National Guard String and Brass Quintet at the Community Center at 5:30PM on Friday (16). One of our on – going “contests” for Summer reading is the “Find the Hammer”. In keeping with the theme of “Build a Better World” the CPL Youth: Books and Beyond club has hidden a small toy hammer somewhere in the public area of the Library. If someone finds it, they do not move it but rather tell a librarian where it is and your name will be entered into a weekly “Hammer” drawing. This contest is open to everyone, all ages, Summer Reading participant or not. The winner will win a small prize. The Hammer is hidden on Tuesday and stays in one place until Friday evening, when the winner will be randomly drawn for a prize. The Hammer is hidden in a new place every Tuesday for the month of June and July. Use your eyes and look around.
Reminder to those that signed up to be a Big Chief. All paperwork must be completed and returned to Tina by June 9th. After background checks are completed we will schedule a quick meeting for the Big Chiefs to prepare for our Little Indians. This is an intergenerational program. That is a fancy way of saying that we are bringing Seniors and youngsters together so that both can have fun and make connections. Both have much to teach and learn from each other.
