'One World, Many Stories' @ Library this Summer

Sat, Jun 18, 2011

by Barbara Coger, Library Director

Hamilton Public Library is busy putting the finishing touches on this summer’s reading program, “One World, Many Stories”.

Weekly art programs for children ages 6-9 will focus on different countries and correlate with the summer art exhibit by Charlotte Blanchard. These Tuesday afternoon programs will be conducted by Charlotte Blanchard and Kristen Weyter. Enrollment for each
program is limited to 15 children.

Registration for the actual reading game, Bibliomania, starts Friday, June 24, and continues throughout the summer. Children may start playing the game on Tuesday, July 5. There will be special prizes for those children who read at least eight hours over the
summer, plus a guaranteed little prize every time they play the game. T-shirt drawings will be held weekly.

The Bubbleman will be our first family performance this summer. This popular program will be held on Wednesday, July 6, at 2:30 pm, in the library’s Community Room. This program has been made possible with funding from our local Community Chest.

We are looking for more volunteers to help with our Outdoor Fun afternoon on Wednesday, July 27. It all happens between 2:30 and 4 pm and there will be ice cream sundaes for all at the end of the afternoon.

Books for the annual Labor Day weekend sale may be delivered to the library any time during the first three weeks of August. Please do not leave any donations at any time outside the library.

The library is open Monday-Friday, 10 am – 7 pm, and Saturday, 10 am – 1 pm. Pleasecall the library, 824-3060, during these hours for assistance. The book drop on Broad Street is always open for your convenience. Check the library’s Facebook page for up-to-date information about programs and special events.
