The Leesburg Library's summer reading program - One World, Many Stories - is in full swing. We have many activities and programs planned for kids, teens and adults and we hope you will be able to join us for some or all of them.
Our shelves are stocked with great books, so please stop in to sign up, start reading and win prizes.
Special programs for our kids this month include:
June 2: Bookin' with Ronald McDonald at 10:30 a.m.
June 9: Listen to some tall tales by storyteller Frank McGarvey at 10:30 a.m.
June 16: Hop on a slow boat to China as Rosalind Engle shares Chinese culture & customs with us.
June 23: Discover the "World of Coyotes" with Carol Cartaino at 10:30 a.m.
June 30: Rock out with Keith Aukeman & the Reading Rocks Band at 10:30 a.m. Come and enjoy some "out of this world" music.
There will be no story times during June, July and August. We will have a song/activity time on Thursdays (prior to our programs) in June and July from 10:15-10:30 a.m. for kids. We hope patrons of all ages will also participate in our One World Art Contest and our Flat Stanley Project this summer. Details are at the front desk or just ask one of the staff!
Other activities this month include our Knit Together group, which meets on Thursday evenings at 5:30 p.m. New members are always welcome, so feel free to come and learn or share your expertise with the others if you're an experienced knitter.
The Leesburg Life Squad will join us the first Tuesday of each month to take blood pressures and pulses from 3:30-4:30 p.m. They will be here on Tuesday, June 7, so stop in and visit with them.
Dawna Jo Kiesling from the Highland County Extension Office will share nutrition tips and healthy recipes for summer cooking on Thursday, June 16 from 10 a.m.-noon and on Monday, June 27 from 3-5 p.m. And our adult book group, RRR, meets on Thursday, June 16 at 1:30 p.m.
Our teen group, SPARX, will not be meeting in June. However, teens are encouraged to sign up for summer reading and participate in the Art Contest and Flat Stanley project. Also, come and relax at our little oasis in the teen area.
We look forward to having you stop by and visit with us this summer. Join us for a program, to check out some great summer reads or to use our Internet computers. Make the Leesburg Library part of your fun summer routine!
