Story Time Hiatus

An update on the Story Time schedule: We will be taking a hiatus for all of August, but the story times will resume in September.  We are currently searching for a new Children's librarian, but if we do not find a suitable candidate by September, story times will continue to be led by Ms Kathy and Ms Laura.
Don't forget about your summer reading for school- we have set aside the books in the Children's section on a special cart.
Enjoy the rest of your summer!

An End

The Summer Reading Program came to an end last week, with our final story times and craft projects.  The Junior Jetsetters completed the book Melonhead and the Big Stink by Katy Kelly, and we highly suggest it to any 3rd/4th graders looking for a funny book to read. 
The Trailblazers (6th - 8th graders) finished and enjoyed the book The London Eye Mystery by Siobhan Dowd, an exciting mystery told from the perspective of a boy with Asperger syndrome.
We hope you enjoyed the program as much as we did! If you still need to collect prizes, come see us any time.
Congratulations to all of the readers that completed the program!

Harry Potter Week

We have dubbed this week "Harry Potter Week" in honor of the release of the final movie on Friday. We have scheduled two special events: one will be tonight for the 5-8th graders at their regular meeting time of 7-8:30, and the other will be for K-4th graders and will be held on Thursday at 3pm (instead of the Tireless Trekkers meeting). We hope to see you there!

Remember, you must be signed up for the Summer Reading Program to attend these events.

Have a happy Harry Potter Week!

Free DVD Rental!

Just in case you needed motivation to go on Facebook... we are offering you a free DVD rental for simply liking the BHPL page. Here's the link: http://www.facebook.com/boontonlibrary      
We are finally trying to introduce the BHPL to the 21st century- we've updated our websites, created this blog, made a Facebook page and a Twitter account.  All we need is your support! Check in to any of these sites to see what's going on at the library. 
Remember, one like=one free DVD.

SRP

As the first week of the Summer Reading Program draws to a close, we'd like to thank everyone who participated and made it a great week! There is still space available in case you missed the sign ups and are interested in joining a group. Just ask for a registration form the next time you come into the library.
If you're available around 3 this afternoon, join us in our Game Lounge (the community room on the lowest level) where you can play video games, computer games, and/or board games with your friends.
Remember, we will be closed on Monday for the holiday.
Have a safe and happy long weekend!

The London Eye Has Arrived!

This is a message for any Trailblazers out there! (That is, the 5th through 8th graders who have signed up for our Summer Reading Program) Your copies of The London Eye Mystery have arrived at the library! Come in and pick them up before Tuesday if you have a chance, so that you can have up to Chapter 10 read for group discussion. We're open until 9 tonight, 10am-5pm tomorrow, and 10am-3pm on Saturday. The library will be closed on Sundays for the rest of the summer, AND will be closed this Monday, July 4th, for the holiday.

Summer Reading

Today is the first day of the Summer Reading Program: One World, Many Stories.  We will kick it off today at 3:00 with the Eager Explorers group (Grades K-2).
Don't forget to stop in for Book Bingo from 7-8 tonight, where each Bingo win gets you a free book! See you later!
