music, music, music

Tomorrow is the last Family Storytime for the Summer session. Mr. Dale was scheduled to perform, but will not be able to, due to a family emergency. We are, however, still having a musical program. The Villigans were kind enough to volunteer to share their wonderful music with us! The performances will be at 10:00 and 11:00, in the Clymer room. Please join us, you will be glad you did!

See you at the library,
Teresa

One More Weekly Teen Program


Next Tuesday is our last weekly program for the summer. An officer from the El Dorado Police Department is coming to show us how to process a "real" crime scene. We will have prize drawings for some cool stuff. I hope to have a great turnout so tell all your friends to come too.

KPTS Share-A-Story on Saturday!



Don't forget the KPTS Share-A-Story program this SATURDAY MORNING at 11:00! Pat Clough of KPTS will be featuring a MYSTERY by Steven Kellogg: The Missing Mitten Mystery! "During a busy day in the snow, Annie loses one of her red mittens--her fifth lost mitten this winter! Where could it be? Did a mouse take it to use as a sleeping bag?"

Registration is limited to 20 families only (each family receives a copy of the book to keep). Call Youth Services at 316-321-3363 to register.

Hullop All,
I am sorry that I have been so sparse in my posts lately. Things were crazy my last week in England. There were so many things that I wish that you all could have seen. There was Paddington Station for all of you fans of Paddington Bear, there was The Kilns for all of you C.S. Lewis fans, and there was the Eagle and the CHild pub for all of you Tolkein fans. For all of you that love the theatre, I had the privilege of seeing Les Miserables in London and seeing the Peter Pan statue in Hyde Park. there were so many lovely and wonderful things to do and see, that I had and am having troubles writing it all down. For any of you that want a good story though, come by the library and we can have a chat. So, where in the world is Evan? Evan is sitting comfortabel in his home glad to have his own bed.

Ti Ti for Then and Ta Ta for Now!
Evan

I wanted to thank ever one who helped my month to go smoothly and to encourage you all to finish the Summer Reading Program and get your prizes! :)

Farewell to Ben!


Today is summer intern Ben Kuestersteffen's last day in the Children's Library (for this summer at least!). Stop in and say "bye" if you get a chance. He's been a great addition to our staff and we've really enjoyed having him here!

Are You a Detective?


I was checking out the website for the new Nancy Drew movie and had fun playing their "Are You a Detective?" game online. Here's the blurb: "Are You a Detective? Welcome to the Draycott Mansion, once home to mysteriously murdered actress Dehlia Draycott. It is rumored that there is a hidden room within the mansion that holds the missing clues to this still unsolved murder."

Has anybody seen the movie yet? Give us a review if you have! And how about those books (I always come back to books somehow!)? You can find a quite a few Nancy Drew's in the Juvenile Series collection downstairs and also in the Young Adult Series collection upstairs.

Another fun website I found is Nancy Drew at MysteryNet.com. You can read about Nancy Drew mysteries and author Carolyn Keene; buy Nancy Drew books and Nancy Drew computer games like Danger on Deception Island; and discuss with others in Nancy Drew forums!
