John Fogarty’s Amazing Island Adventure

Many parents came expecting John Fogerty of CCR and were captivated none-the-less by our John Fogarty with an “a”.  An accomplished actor, singer and guitarist, he combined his talents into a unique performance experience that received great reviews.  Parents raved that he grabbed their children’s attention from the moment he began.  Many children came dressed as a Pirate or Princess and some were able to participate in the show. He should be a definite “Yes” for anyone considering him for a program.

The Library Gang Loves Norma Chang!

Everybody loves to eat and when you combine it with a charming cook you sure can’t go wrong. Norma presented two programs for us today. The first was the “Do-Ahead Picnic” program for adults. Even seasoned cooks learned a thing or two from Norma. She made us Sweet & Sour Turkey Kabobs, Sesame Spaghetti Squash and Asparagus Salad. They were wonderful!

For the children she presented “Book A Trip To China; Where In The World Is Shanghai (Geography Via Food)” The children had great food and learned about China too! Norma made them Stir-Fry Hong Kong Style Noodles and all the kids tried new foods and realized that they liked them!

Trip the Light Fantastic…at the library?

Tonight was the first session of our beginning ballroom class. This was the first event in our adult summer reading program “Books: A Treasure At Any Age.” Patrons and library staff (several of them children of the 80’s) learned the correct way to dance with a partner. We all left the first class feeling that we could dance in public and maybe our children wouldn’t laugh so hard at us. June was a great teacher and we can’t wait until next week.

Books: A Treasure At Any Age

Why should the kids have all the fun? This summer we’re having a reading program just for the grown-ups! Patrons will earn one raffle ticket for every book they read (up to 30) and two tickets for every adult library program that they attend. At the end of the summer we’ll raffle off a gift basket. Be sure to fill out a reading log at the front desk and pick up a program brochure.
