Last Day for HERO Bingo Blackout Approaching!

The last day of August is coming up quick. That means that HERO Bingo Blackout is almost over, so finish up your Bingo Cards and get them into the IPL for your chance to win some books. If you've already finished up one card, you might still have time to do another. You can fill in one square right now by commenting below. We'll even get you started with a question. What was your favorite part of summer at the library this year?

The Summer Reading Program, “Every Hero Has a Story”, is over for this summer. 

Grand Prize winners names were drawn and notified.  All event extras (displays and

such) taken apart and  put away, but our Heros are out there in abundance!!!

Readers are everywhere!!

I find it heartwarming when readers of all ages are excited to share information about something that they have recently read.  Our youngest readers bubble over with information. 

Rhyme Time and Story Time continue throughout the summer on Thursday mornings.  Rhyme Time at 9:30 am and is most suited for 0-2 year olds and their caregivers.  Story Time is at 10 am and is geared for 2-5 year olds.  We welcome all who want to join us. 

HERO Bingo for all ages is the follow up challenge for the summer.  For every HERO card completed, your name is put into a drawing for a free book! 

Fall programming is in the planning stage.  We are going to be able to work with the ISU Extension again this year.  I am pleased and excited about all the great fun and programming that comes with these girls.  Our first scheduled event, “Geology Rocks!” is on Wednesday afternoon September 16.  This will be an afterschool program.  Learning, along with fun, go hand in hand with programs presented by the ISU Extension.   Watch our website for more information.

Summer is slipping past very quickly.  I think it is all the extra “Super Hero” activity surrounding me.  I have been swept up by powerful energy all summer.  Keep reading!

Hope to see you soon,
