What a week it was at the library! We had our July book club for ages 9-12, released some butterflies into the wild, read to reptiles, made crafts, gave out summer reading prizes, hosted the USDA food truck, played mahjong, did a bunch of story times, and more! Thanks for coming to the library and making us a community living room.

These photos were taken with an iphone. How that you have the picture, what do you with it? How do you identify a bird, mammal, reptile or bug that you encounter? Can you spot a fake animal? How do you remember it later? There are some great tools out there to identify and store your encountered wildlife - and participate in science research at the same time! Join us Tuesday, July 21 @ 6:30 p.m. at the library to learn how to use apps to enrich your wildlife viewing.

Some days you want to climb into your own box and just watch a movie. We decorated some Jurassic Jeeps and watched a short movie at the Dino Drive-In Wednesday morning. It was a dino-riffic time.

Temperatures are heading into the nineties this week. This is reminder that the library has an air-conditioned children's play area. If you need to get out of the house but are worried about the heat, the library offers a free space to play. We don't allow pets in the library, but due to what is known as the Jurassic loophole, dinosaurs are allowed. They like to color with children.
