Welcome to the Children's Room!
Kids and Teens going into grades 6-12 in the fall, VOLUNTEER TO HELP WITH THE SUMMER READING PROGRAM!
The program runs from June 25th to August 18th. We need help giving out Summer Reading Bags, awarding raffle tickets and other prizes, and telling patrons how the program works.
Starting Monday, May 21st, come fill out an application to volunteer! We have set up training sessions and will give you all the information you need to help!
You can put volunteer hours towards honor society, church volunteer requirements, etc.
Summer Reading can't happen without volunteers!!
See Children's Room Staff with any questions.
Your family can adopt
a shelf for the months of July and August!
It’s a great way for kids to
learn a little more about the library and feel ownership of the books they
love.
Adopting a shelf means…
*you come to a
training session to show you how to take care
of the books on your
shelf
*you commit to coming
to the library at least 4
times during 2 months
*your family name
will be put on a special place card next
to your shelf for the
length of the program!
*you can request
where to adopt! (fiction, picture books,
graphic novels, etc)
*At the end of the
summer, a book will be donated to your
section in your
family’s honor – with a special bookplate!
Registration for Adopt A Shelf will begin June 1st.
You will be able to sign up for a training session at that time, and
will be assigned a shelf at training!
LOOK WHAT COMES OUT THIS FALL!
I am so excited for a sequel to Because of Mr. Terupt, which was rated as the most-loved book in my 3rd and 4th grade book group this year.
I wrote to Mr. Rob Buyea (the author) letting him know how effected the children were by his book that touched on pretty tough, relevant topics like bullying, broken families, and how sometimes, judging right from wrong isn't as easy as we'd like.
I received a gracious email in return, in which Mr. Buyea spilled the beans about his second book! Now it is official - Mr. Terupt returns in October!
We will be reading this one for sure!

NEW SPANISH EARLY READERS!
We have a whole bunch of early readers in Spanish! Some are titles you may recognize from well known American authors like Dr. Suess, and others are original Spanish titles!
Come check these out! They are great for kids learning Spanish, or for families who speak Spanish at home.

For people with multi-disc players, occasionally a
library CD will get stuck. This is true, mostly, for multi-cd players installed in
cars. Please play at
your own risk. Thank you!
