The Story Continues

Storytimes continue through the summer with Waddler Storytime each Monday at 10 a.m. and also regular storytime at 10:30 where every age is welcome.  On Tuesdays at 10:30 you'll find Mrs. Stanley in the shelter house at Amherst Township Park where we share stories with our friends outside.

We read a great story about sharks and one about getting to the beach.  Everyone enjoyed the bubbles at the end.

Bubble fans, don't forget that the Bubble Lady will be at the Main Street Center on Friday, June 25 at 1 p.m.   She will show you all kinds of bubbles and some bubbles so huge that a person can stand inside.  Don't think there's any such thing as a square bubble?  Wait and see.

Summer Reading, can you keep up!

It's been a busy week as summer reading continues at the library.  Right now we have 670 kids signed up and more than 240 teens. Just over 85 adults have turned in reading slips to be entered in our drawing!  It's been crazy! 

Yesterday kids took part in a craft activity where they could write a story and make a scratch art sea creature.  The stories were great as everyone described what they saw on their visit to the beach and especially what they had for lunch.  I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

The yo-yo workshops have drawn a crowd and last week kids took part in a magic workshop led by local magician Ron Price.  We learned tricks like the "Professor's Nightmare" and the "Matrix".  If you missed the magic workshop, stop at the library and pick up one of the great magic books we have on the shelf.  There's always some kind of magic happening at the Amherst Public Library!
