At least it seems that way to me! The library has been jumping during the weeks since school let out! We have lots of activities going on for the teens and kids with our weekly movies, arts & crafts activities and other special events. If you aren't sure what is coming up, here are a few things we have in store for you!
Tomorrow, Thursday, June 26th we will be having Park Rangers in from the National Forest Service at the Petrified Forest who will be teaching us about "Triassic Bugs"! This begins at 2pm and includes the learning opportunity as well as a "Bug Craft"
On Friday at 2pm we will be having our Metamorphosis Activity for our teens. i don't know what these great kids have up their sleeves for this weekend, but i bet it will be a blast!
On Monday, June 30th we will be having a very special presentation of the Double Play, Flute & Tuba starting at 7pm. i was able to see a snippet of this performance and it is wonderful, so please come and join us!
You know, yesterday evening while working at the circulation desk i gazed down one of the aisles and out the window and i was amazed, once again, by the beauty of this part of Arizona. The trees were blowing lazily in the wind, the sun shining brightly and the grass just seemed greener. It made me grateful to be alive... Alas, i wax philosophical, forgive me.
So anyway, come on down to the Holbrook Public Library and enjoy our beautiful new building. We have additions to our collection nearly every day and so i am sure that we can find something to entertain you on a lazy summer's day. And if not, let us know what you are looking for and we will find it and order it in for you!
So until next time, a quote:
Knowledge is free at the library. Just bring your own container.

PINK?!?!?!
April!!! My posts are not pink, they are purple!!! You know, the very best color ever?!?!?
Anyway, i am here to post on this beautiful Saturday morning, and gazing out of the window from the Circulation Desk i can see the trees waving lazily in the breeze, which is very mild, which is unusual for Holbrook! There is an Antique Car Show going on today down the street and baseball games all over too, so things are quiet here at the Library. Not that this is usually the case, life at the Library has been extremely crazy since school has let out because we have so many fun things scheduled for the kids and teens in our community!
Every Monday at 2pm we are hosting a Movie Madness for kids 12 and under, next week will be showing a "Buzzy" type Movie!! (which i have seen and it is very very cute, for parents and kids alike) i can't post the actual "title" of that particular movie due to copyright infringement type scariness!
Every Tuesday at 2pm, we will have Bugs, Glue & You, our children's Craft session. Next week we will be making another cute bug like the Caterpillars we made last week!
Every Wednesday at 2pm we are hosting a Teen Matinee for teens 13 and up, next week we will be showing a Lara Croft movie, and i can't tell you which one due to that same scary copyright infringement type stuff! But i can tell you that it is another highly enjoyable flick!
Every Thursday we have our Story time at 11am, come join us for songs, dancing and a story! Also on Thursdays we will be having other activities to go along with our Summer Reading Program, "Catch The Reading Bug"! Please see the calendar you picked up when you signed your kids up for Summer Reading for more information!
Every Friday we have our Teen Time also at 2pm. This week they had a WATER WAR! Who knows what they might come up with next week!
So needless to say there is seldom a dull moment at the Holbrook Public Library! If you don't believe me, come on down and see for yourself!
Until next time, here is your quote for this week:

Happy Reading!

Hello Holbrook and surrounding areas! Barb here from the Holbrook Public Library Circulation desk!
Life in the Good ol' HPL (Holbrook Public Library) is as action packed as always! We did our Summer Reading Kick Off yesterday and we had a terrific turn out. So much so that we all ran out of bugs!!! Yeah, our theme this year is "Catch the Reading Bug" and so we challenged the kids to go to our different booths and earn bugs in their Bug Jars to get a treat! We signed up lots of great kids in our community and we hope that we see them often as they come in to get new books to devour... well not literally, but to read anyway!
So there is my blog for now, i have lots more to write but unfortunately right now i just don't have time because we close in 20 minutes.
We hope that all is well with you and your family and that you come into the Library soon to check out books to savor yourself or with your family this summer.
See ya soon!
Barb
Oh, and P.S. here is your Quote:
"A good library will never be too neat, or too dusty, because somebody will always be in it, taking books off the shelves and staying up late reading them."
