Mothers/Daughters/Friends: Come and watch the "American Girl: Chrissa Stands Strong" on the big screen! This is an excellent film about the issues of bullying and friendships among girls. The library will provide pizza and soda. Please bring a snack or dessert to share if you are able. We will discuss the movie and make a craft together.                     TUESDAY, JULY 27th at 6:00 p.m.

We hope that you are enjoying your summer reading books. If you have not yet picked up a copy, it's not too late. While you are here, put your scoop of ice cream on the gigantic cone to earn "sprinkles" towards a free ice cream from Still Four Corners.

The Summer Reading program will run from August 2-5. 6:30-8:00 p.m. for children entering 1-6 grades.  Call the library to register and for details. 508 882-3372
