Today is the last FULL day of spring!

But here at the library, summer is already in full swing.  We celebrated our summer reading kick-off on Saturday with carnival games, ice cream, balloon animals, face painting, and a magician -- it was tons of fun for the whole family!  Thanks so much to Chrissie and Linda for all their hard work in making the day a success, thanks to our teen volunteers who pitched in, and thanks to the other staff members that were here, it was certainly a busy day!  Just over the weekend, we already have 278 children and 114 teens and adults signed up for the summer reading program.  Didn't get a chance to stop by yet?  Don't worry, you can sign up anytime throughout the summer!

This summer, we are partnering with The Hobby Shop (Rt. 34 in Aberdeen) to cross-promote our reading programs.  Books read for the MAPL club count toward The Hobby Shop's club, and vice versa.  Here are the details:
