Saturday, June 20 – Wednesday, August 12: Reading Dragons & Friends
Reading Dragons is a deck building and battling game similar to Pokémon–with different types of creatures and the ability to evolve them and make them more powerful. To build your deck and evolve your creatures all you have to do is read! Every 20 minutes of reading can be used to either evolve a card or get a new one. The more you read, the more cards you can collect, and the more powerful you can make them! Please register. See also the Summer Reading Program.

Ages 8+. Make a unique dinosaur or dragon egg from air dry clay! Materials provided. Please register!

Adult Events
Saturday, June 20 – Wednesday, August 12: Adult Summer Reading Program
Instead of our usual book bingo, we’re doing something a little different this year! We will still have a list of book categories, but instead of getting a raffle ticket for each bingo, you get a raffle ticket for every category you read for. Sign up here, and either print the form from the sign-up page, or stop by the Library to pick one up! Winners will be announced on August 12.
Tuesday, June 23/30, at 3:15 pm: Library Book Club
The book this month is The Book Club for Troublesome Women by Marie Botswick. A Zoom link will be available for anyone who wants to attend remotely. If you would like to borrow a copy of the book, or request the Zoom link, please contact the Library.
Upcoming: Fiber Arts Program Series
Throughout the summer we will be hosting a number of fiber arts “how to” programs, with the goal of starting a regular craft group come fall. There are no official dates yet, but we’re hoping to have classes for sewing, crochet, needle felting, and cross-stitch! Watch this space for updates!
Board of Trustees
