Oprah Book Club for Youth
Well, now she's done it - Oprah has teamed up with the American Library Association's children services division to recommend 100 great books for youth. The lists are divided by reader age, so you can find out what is best for a 2 year old!

Saying Goodbye
Library staff threw a going-away luncheon for one of our favorite people, yesterday. Miss Carol is going to take time to travel and catch up on her reading! We all will miss her very much, especially those of us working in the youth department. If anyone wants to wish her well, her last day is Friday, August 8th.

Buggy Fun last Saturday
More than 90 kids and adults went BUGGY for Storyteller Glenda Bonin at the Saturday kick-off of the Family Summer Reading Program. If you missed it, no worry. Stop by any time through July 19th to get your Goody Bag. Inside you will find a pencil, a reading log, a bookmark with the craft day schedule on it, and a buggy sticker. Reading will earn you free books to take home (teens, too), and a chance to win some cool buggy prizes. You can crawl inside the Colossal Dragonfly, and do a bug hunt through the library. We will have all kinds of crafts, puzzles, and coloring sheets for you to do. Plus, we have more bug books than you can shake a "walking stick" at!

Glenda and one of her puppet friends tell stories from around the world about the exciting life of beetles, ants, butterflies, spiders, flies, worms and other small critters.

3rd Tuesday Family Craft Nite
The whole family had fun making personalized library tote bags. We met in the Activity Room at 7:00 and Miss Becky had the iron warmed up and the printer ready. Digital pictures were added to a frame and printed on transfer paper, which were then ironed on to muslin totes. We learned how to handle an iron and also got to choose a free book to take home in our new totes. Ben and Sierra pose with their crafts.

Parents will enjoy this two-act play, performed by local talent, Taylor Hanes. Taylor has performed this Ross Howard script off Broadway, at the New York Fringe Festival, and graciously consented to give his Boulder City friends a preview before a month long run in San Francisco. Tickets are required, but complimentary. Pick them up at the library's front desk.
