Since today is a half day for area schools that will lead into a long weekend, I know lots of kids will be enjoying the time off and maybe thinking about summertime. I'm thinking about summer! There will be lots of great activities here in June and July that I'm really looking forward to. The theme is A Midsummer Knight's Read and we'll do lots of great fairytale- and medieval-related activities.
For example, we're going to have a Shrek party, with a Feed the Ogre bean bag toss, fairy godmother potions, and Swamp Water to drink. We'll have a Medieval Toys and Games program where we make puppets and play Bocci ball. We're also going to have a Knights program where kids run through and obstacle course and make a coat of arms. We'll also have Dragon Week, where the kids race to recover dragon eggs and then solve the clues to find the dragon's treasure, plus other dragon-related games and crafts. Things are going to get really exciting here at the library!
You'll be able to register for all this stuff starting on Library Luau Day, which is Saturday, May 21. The luau is from 2-4 and kids will be able to do the coconut bowling, bean bag toss, painting, and more... plus sign up for all these fun summer activities. Call us or stop by for more details!

Pinkalicious Party & More Books
Don't forget, everyone: this Saturday we're having the Pinkalicious party at 2:30. Join us for cupcake decorating, princess hats, painting pictures, and letters to the Tooth Fairy. There won't be much (if any) late registration for this one, though, because we have to make sure there are enough cupcakes for everyone who comes. Registration closes April 7, today.
I've been continuing to chip away at the Rebecca Caudill list, and I have three more to go: All the Broken Pieces, Powerless, and Greetings from Nowhere. I was pleasantly surprised by Flygirl--I really enjoyed it! It was really refreshing to read a WWII story that conveyed the tension and risk involved in the war without being horribly dark and depressing. Give it a try!
