Behind My Desk…

Story time is on a temporary break for the month of May as we gear up for the Summer Reading Program.  It will resume on Mondays from 10:00-11:00 beginning in June.  See above for dates and themes! 

To register for the Library’s Summer Reading programs, be sure to stop at the Washington School Gym on May 13 & 14 between 5:00 & 7:00.  It’s a good opportunity to register for other summer activities and programs as well! 

Now is also the time to sign-up for “Reading Rocks”, a summer vacation reading support program, sponsored by the Atlantic Library and the Atlantic BPO Does.  This free program is for students going into 1^st-3^rd grades and will be held on Thursdays from 11:00-12:00 on June 6, 13, 20, and 27.   For more information or to enroll your child, contact Julie or Kayla at 243-5466, ext. 1.  

A big thank you goes out to the Friends of the Atlantic Library for all their hard work on last week’s book sale!  It was a huge success and many books found new homes.  Thanks also to everyone who donated books, bought books and to those who joined or renewed their Friend’s membership. 

I also wanted to thank Clarence Pfundheller for speaking about his Pearl Harbor experience. We had a wonderful turnout with over thirty people attending.  Thanks to Clarence for sharing his story and for his service to our country.

We’ve also been busy shifting some books around.  The Large Print Westerns, Large Print Mysteries, and the Iowa section have moved.  So if you’re looking for something in those areas, just ask and we’ll direct you to their new locations!

The sun is finally shining and temperatures are rising!  Keep thinking warm and … Keep Thinking Libraries!
