More 100-Year Celebration Events!

I told you we have lots of events planned for our 100-Year Celebration during May! Now, here are three more...
On Tuesday, May 13, at 10 a.m., Clifford The Big Red Dog will be here. For those of you who don't know who Clifford is, let me tell you.
Clifford was the runt of the litter and was chosen by a city kid named Emily Elizabeth Howard as her birthday present. No one expected Clifford to grow, but Emily Elizabeth's love for her tiny red puppy changed Clifford dramatically. Before long, he was over 25 feet tall, forcing the Howard family to leave the city and move to the open spaces of Birdwell Island.
Clifford The Big Red Dog, written by Norman Bridwell, is an enduring American children's book series first published in 1962.
Children from all over everywhere have been invited to join Clifford as he celebrates our 100 years of service to the community of Moultrie, Georgia and surrounding areas.
As part of the children's celebration, there will also be a Tuesday evening event (same date...May 13) from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. here at the library. We're having a party, and children and their parents are invited to attend.
For both of these events, the children's librarian, Miss Norma, is asking that you let us know you're coming. Just call 985-6540! Thanks!
Another special event to be held on May 21 from 10 a.m. until Noon will be our Community Elders' Tea. This will be a time when the senior members of our community (we call them "wisdom warriors") will be honored. Light refreshments will be provided and our Hundred-Year-Old Librarian will help us celebrate the day.
Well! What do you think about that? Wonderful events for people from pre-school age to our wisdom warriors! And all in between.
There will be something here during the month of May for all of you. Come celebrate with us!
