Greetings!
Happy Summer!
There is a lot going on at the library! The Children's Dept. is brimming with activities for the Summer Reading Program. Festivities begin with a cool lawn concert for kids on June 14 with Luloo (Sara O'Brien.) Children's Librarian Dorothy Peppard has her usual fun and creative line up of summer activities. See the stories below and sign up at the Children's Dept. starting on June 10! Also, check out the wonderful decorations with the theme of Dig into Reading, created by staff member Joan Morrison! They get better every year!
If you have a tablet or eReader, stop in for a class on how to use it with the library's subscriptions to Overdrive or the 3M Cloud on June 11 at 6 pm. Get your eBooks by download with that lovely library card. Jo-Ann Pure is the instructor and our head Reference and Computer Instruction Librarian. She will also give a class on learning the basics of Apple's Macintosh on June 19 at 11 am. Call 429-1304, ext. 112 for more information or to register for these free classes.
If you want to catch up on summer reading and films, check out the ideas below to find some good reads. This includes summer reading for Haddonfield students. We are also recommending some Haddonfield books if you want to learn more about Elizabeth Haddon during this 300th anniversary of Haddonfield's settlement.
The Library Board, the governing body of the library, welcomes Mayor Jeff Kasko to the group. The Library Board is very pleased to announce the roll back of two budget closing days!
Please stop in and see the display this month showcasing books on travel. Claire Stairiker, our Circulation Manager, created this interesting display upstairs. Check it out! Let us help to plan your next trip. Our staff would love to see you this summer!
Cordially,
