Dancing in the Streets

At least that's what I feel like doing. We're breaking ground! August 10th at 10:00 am, (in case you missed that little detail), and everyone is invited to join us. Everything is going well--the campaign has reached 83% of goal, I'm starting to work on next year's New York State Library Construction Grant, we're poised to sign our finalized contract with Lecesse Construction, and we've picked out the carpet we're going to use. And that's just this month. Well, it will take longer to finish writing the grant proposal, but still...
The Summer Reading Program is going very well. It's not too late to join us, if you haven't been able to participate until now. Susie and Jeanine have spent many hours putting together games and prizes for teens and adults, and Michelle has done the same for children--it's a lot of fun! Using the library to provide reading material is an inexpensive way to keep kids reading over the summer, and we all know how important that is. Remember--Monday from 1-6pm and Wednesday from 2-6pm. Come and bring a friend.
In case you haven't been in lately, there are many books for sale in the library book sale outside the Children's Library--video's too. Some kind person donated a lot of children's vhs tapes to the library book sale. It's a great assortment. But come in soon--they won't last long. Right now there are lots of books--come and see what you can find to read.
