Summer is fast approaching, and our program schedule is changing just a bit to make more time for all the Summer Reading Fun. Here is a run down of what to look for this summer.
On the second and fourth Tuesday of each month through July, we host Maker Space at 4:00 p.m. for pre-K through elementary ages (but everyone is welcome!). Stay as long as you want. Learn something new, teach someone else something new, or just have time to unwind. (May 22, June 12, June 26, June 10, June 24)
Beginning June 5, we are hosting a brand new program called Reading with Dogs! On the first and third Tuesdays through August you can come learn about the care and handling of dogs, then have an opportunity to read with one of our furry friends. These pooches are certified therapy dogs with very knowledgeable handlers, so they are gentle and well-behaved. Join us for this fun new program and get a little puppy love! (June 5, June 19, July 3, July 17, August 7, and August 21)
This summer we will set up a Library Hot Spot at Paul Housing every two weeks, from June 5 through July 17 at 10:00am. Kids will have a chance to sign up for a library card and check out some books, so they can join all the Summer Reading fun!
Thursdays at 10:00am, from June 7 through July 19, is our Summer Reading Program Libraries Rock!, where you will have a chance to participate in fun music-related programs and earn awesome prizes. This year’s Grand Prize is a new iPod Touch, so get ready to read, read, read! **Please note that we will not have our regular Storytime during the months of May or August as we prepare for upcoming programs**
Teen Summer Reading is every Thursday at 4:00 p.m. Join us for some fun activities and great times as we show you just how much DeMary Library Rocks! **There will be no Teen Club during the month of August as we prepare for upcoming programs.**
The Adult Book Club meets on the last Thursday of each month at 6:00 p.m. The book for May is Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly. Please call 208-436-3874 for the book for the following months. Each session includes refreshments and great discussions. You won’t want to miss it!
