Hi everyone,
Our “Adventure Begins at Your Library” Summer Reading Program will wrap up at the end of this week. All summer we’ve been enjoying hearing about our young participants’ summer adventures. Readers should bring in their reading adventure logs by the end of the week to be entered in the prize drawings. This Saturday (August 17) from 10:00-11:30 AM, we’re holding a Hula Hoop party to celebrate. Come spin with Josie Lamb, hula hoop expert and nurse practitioner at the White Mountain Community Health Center. We’ll have hula hoops for you to use, or bring your own. Prize drawings and popcorn, too! Everyone is welcome, even if you didn’t participate in our program.
Here’s what else is happening at your library this week.

Family campfire and camp out behind the library, Tuesday, August 13: Come from 7:00-9:00 PM for songs and stories with Dexter Harding around the campfire. Families who choose to camp overnight must provide all of their own camping equipment. So we can prepare, register ahead of time for camp fire and/or camp out at bit.ly/4fubE1h.
