Events for all ages are planned for the summer, and Fantastic Fridays are back starting June 7 and every Friday in June and July at 3 p.m.! So, hang this on your refrigerator, there is a lot going on:  

• Friday, June 7: Steven’s Puppets present Goldilocks and the Three Bears. A chance to see real marionette puppets in action telling the familiar story. 
• Friday, June 14: Fred Walden will be here with some creepy, crawly friends.   
• Friday, June 21: Mark Booth is bringing Birds of Prey!  
• Friday, June 28: Prepare to get wet! It’s time for a long-time favorite program:  the Water Show!
• Friday, July 5: Our own Field Day, be prepared to run, jump, hop, skip and be active.

We may as well go ahead and tell you what we have planned for July:  

• Friday, July 12: Magic Don Miller’s tribute to Harry Potter.
• Friday, July 19: Professor Steve’s Excellent Adventure.
• Friday, July 26: Our new annual favorite program that is fun for everyone:   Foam Happy Foam Party! 

But Friday isn’t the only day for summer events: 

Every Tuesday at 10 a.m. there is a story time for all children.

Every other Wednesday at 11 a.m. there will be a craft activity: June 12 and 26 and July 10 and 24. 

Wednesdays at 2 p.m., for ages 10 to 18, we have a new program: “How to do stuff.” There will be some basic cooking, some basic sewing and some other skills too… but what will be cooking and what will you sew?  

Anytime we are open: Bring the kids in to play and pick out stacks of books to read together. Keep those reading skills sharp all summer!  

Older kids can continue to enjoy activities with Bradan:  

• On Mondays, we have Lego Club from 4 to 6 p.m. 
• Wednesdays are for Anime Club for teens from 2 to 5 p.m.

• Fridays from 4 to 6 p.m. are for the popular Dungeons and Dragons group.  

We won’t leave out the adults.

• Book Club with Hannah will continue to meet the fourth Monday of each month from 1 to 4 p.m. Join the fun of discussing a book that you all have read. One book can inspire many viewpoints.
• Care for the Caregivers meets every Wednesday from noon to 1:30 p.m. Caring for those we love can be hard work, can be heart-breaking, can cause fatigue, loneliness, and then feelings of guilt for feeling that way. Sometimes the caregiver needs to get away just for a little while to have their own emotional batteries recharged. You don’t have to drive all the way to Bloomington, you are welcome to join us at the library. 

• Watercolor painting class meets the first Friday of every month at 2 p.m.  
• B.J.’s Crafts time is every other Wednesday, June 12 and 26 and July 10 and 24 from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. 

If you have been attending an event that is not listed here, it does not necessarily mean the group is not meeting, but rather, that the class is full and not seeking new attendees at this time.  

Attention: There will be a craft supply swap on Saturday, June 22 from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Remember all that stuff you bought when you got all excited about that new craft… the one you aren’t doing anymore at all?  

Bring in that stuff you don’t use anymore, and trade it in on some new craft stuff. Get some new ideas, learn a new skill, start a new hobby! Or find some new materials for your current hobby. 

The Friends of the Library will have their monthly Book Sale on Saturday, June 8 in the library’s Community Room from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Stock up on summer reading!
