Thursdays for Kids
We have four events this month for kids!

See REAL FOSSILS and learn about them! We will also have hands-on activities like making your own fossils, a fossil find, and an activity playmat! If you haven’t, this is a good time to check out the Dinosaur Exhibit at the library and enter to win the raffle!
6/11 at 3:30pm - Stomp Rockets @ Holt Park
Celebrate the last day of school and join us for Stomp Rockets in the park! We will have snacks, a raffle, and Summer Reading sign-ups.

Join us for LEGO building awesomeness! Each child who completes a project will get to put it on display in the library until the next LEGO Club.
6/25 at 3:30 pm - Chess, Checkers, & More!
Come play games with friends! We will have plenty of chessboards, card games, checkers, and more. We have cooperative and competitive games for younger and older kids, so hopefully everyone will find a game they enjoy.
PreK Storytime – Thursdays at 10:00am
Join us for fun books, songs, and rhymes!! This storytime is intended for children in preschool, but all kids and their families are welcome to join. We shoot for about 30 minutes of fun, but sometimes we go a little long and sometimes just a tad short. Afterward, we will all do a fun craft. Starting on June 25th, Storytime will move to Holt Park and start at 11am. Make sure you bring a blanket to sit on!
Babytime – Tuesdays at 10:00am
Join us on Tuesdays for songs, fingerplays, lap bounces, scarves, egg shakers, stories, and bubbles! This storytime is 20 minutes long so we can wrap up before the littles get too squirmy.
Book Clubs
Middle-Grade Book Club
We've decided to split our current Middle Grade Book Club into separate Middle School and High School book clubs again. We originally had Elementary, Middle, and High School groups, but at the time we didn't have enough participants to maintain all three.
Middle School Book Club (6th-8th Grade) will continue to meet on the 1st Tuesday of each month from 4:00–4:45 PM.
Our next book is "The First State of Being by" by Erin Entrada Kelly! We will talk about this unique science-fiction book on 7/7.
Read more about this book here:
It's August 1999. For twelve-year-old Michael Rosario, life at Fox Run Apartments in Red Knot, Delaware, is as ordinary as ever—except for the looming Y2K crisis and his overwhelming crush on his sixteen-year-old babysitter, Gibby. But when a disoriented teenage boy named Ridge appears out of nowhere, Michael discovers there is more to life than stockpiling supplies and pining over Gibby.
It turns out that Ridge is carefree, confident, and bold, things Michael wishes he could be. Unlike Michael, however, Ridge isn’t where he belongs. When Ridge reveals that he’s the world’s first time traveler, Michael and Gibby are stunned but curious. As Ridge immerses himself in 1999—fascinated by microwaves, basketballs, and malls—Michael discovers that his new friend has a book that outlines the events of the next twenty years, and his curiosity morphs into something else: focused determination. Michael wants—no, needs—to get his hands on that book. How else can he prepare for the future? But how far is he willing to go to get it?
