Behind My Desk…

It’s the summer of authors at the Atlantic Public Library!  Atlantic native and world traveler, Liberty Wickman, will be at the library on Wednesday, June 5^th at 2:30 to share stories and pictures of her many travels abroad as well as sign her new book, “Feeding Elephants, Friends, and Parasites:  The Journey of a Nomad”.  Please join us!  I know I look forward to living vicariously through Liberty’s adventures! 

The summer reading program is almost upon us, and it all starts with our Kick-off Carnival on Monday, June 3 from 3:00 to 6:00.  There will be activities both inside and outside the library so please note that the library parking lot will be closed off starting at 1:30.   The carnival should be a lot of fun, so please join us!

I’ve included the first week and a half of summer programs but we have a full schedule so keep checking back!  Also, be sure to stop in the library or call to register your child for the Read-At-Home Summer program which begins June 1^st.  For those pre-school and kindergarten children that signed up at One Stop Registration, your log books are now available for pickup at the library. 

Please also stop into the Children’s library and take a look at the new Dr. Seuss picture hanging up down there.  It was donated by the Browning Book Club in memory of Mary Paasch. 

Summer is here but be sure to… Keep Thinking Libraries!
