A Child's Book Review: Jumpy Jack & Googily

Jumpy Jack & Googily by Meg Rosoff and Sophie Blackall was reviewed by 4-year-old Helena:

That is a fun book!

(She is right, this is a really fun book about monsters. Look for it on the new book shelf!)

Submit your child's book review to me via email and you may see it in a future "A Child's Book Review" blog post.

It is the Summer Solstice!

Today is the longest day of the year!

Celebrate by reading Under Alaska's Midnight Sun, a book about Barrow, Alaska where the sun stays out for 83 days!

Or read Ellen Jackson's non-fiction book The Summer Solstice to learn more about the longest day.

Letters! We get letters!

We love getting feedback from kids! Here is a letter we received after a class from Oakview Elementary visited the library recently.

Friend of the Sun Program

Thursday, June 19th
at 2:00 pm



Play it safe this summer and still have some fun with some basic sun safety. The American Cancer Society will be presenting their "Slip, Slop, Slap," program to remind us of the importance of sun protection and we will finish up with a craft. Join us for this fun and informative program designed for kids!
