Two More 100-Year Celebration Events You Need To Know About!

It's only three more days until our 100-Year Celebration Month begins. And today I want to tell you about two more events that are coming.
On Thursday, May 22, from 6 to 8 p.m., Reading Rocks will be held for students in grades 6 through 12. Our local band Quarter After Disorder will play for the kids. Many of you know the band members: Owen Blank, guitar/vocalist; Brandon Plymel, saxophone; Ariel Whitaker, vocalist; Adam Eubanks, bass guitar; Morgan Castellow, drums; and Mark Hannon, sound technician. Tickets will be handed out at the door for a slice of pizza and a soft drink, as well as for door prizes! It's an event the kids won't want to miss. Remember, you have to let us know you're in grades 6 through 12 in order to get in. Library staff members and friends are looking forward to joining in with the fun.
The last of the 100-Year Celebration events will actually be held on Monday, June 2. Family Movie Night will be in the Bert Harsh Park from 8:40 p.m. to about 10:15 p.m. The movie, "Horton Hears A Who," will delight all ages and refreshments will be available for purchase. Be sure to dress comfortably and bring a lawn chair or blanket for an evening of outdoor fun.
I guess I could say that our family movie night is also the kickoff of our Summer Reading Program, because the very next day, Tuesday, June 3, it begins. But I'll tell you about that another day.
Y'all come see us now during our 100-Year Celebration! We're looking forward to seeing you!
