We are soooo busy getting ready for all the summer reading programs. With school out now, there will be a large group of children visiting the library on a continuing basis, probably more than during the school year. And I just can't blame them for visiting more. We have some great things planned!
All during June there will be something special going on, not only at the Moultrie Library but also at the Doerun Library. Even the Bookmobile will begin signing up readers on May 25.
Miss Norma, the Children's Librarian, has a great line-up of programs for children ages 9 and under at the Moultrie Library. Artist Miss Sally will have "Make and Take" items; Tommy Johns, the magician from Atlanta, will have unbelievable tricks; Windell Campbell will have "Story Travels"; and Andy Offutt Irwin will have stories to tell, also. There will even be "Didgeridoo Down Under" entertainment, a juggler, and musicians. All these programs will be on Tuesdays, 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., and on Thursdays, 10 to 11 a.m.
The pre-teens and teens will have a summer program called "Just4Teens." On Thursdays in June, 6 to 7 p.m. at the Moultrie Library, they will have programs on geocaching and games; one called "You be the Judge" and one called "The Wayward Peach from Okinawa"; and one of the best, "Members' Choice."
And not to forget the Doerun Library, their programs will be on Wednesdays from 3 to 4 p.m. Again, you'll find Miss Sally there, as well as juggler Ron Anglin, and pint-size polka music, just to name a few.
A special to this year's reading clubs will be the new adult program, "Novel Destinations." Why should kids have all the fun? Pack your bags and get ready to go! On June 7, The Adventure Begins will register adults joining the fun and provide the first sign-ups with gifts. On June 14, Thomasville author Janet Litherland will visit and talk about her trips to Ireland to gather inspiration for her books. The other three Tuesdays in June will show case Cruisin' and The Virtual Tourist. And on July 12, we'll have a program about Italy, Romanzo Destinazioni. Times for these programs will be 6:35 to 7:25 p.m. (to accommodate parents who bring their children to the evening programs).
I'm looking forward to these good times. I love to watch the children bounce with excitement as they head toward their special event. And for the first time, I'll get to join in as a member of the adult reading group.
Don't forget the library now that school's out! This is when the biggest show begins...Summer Reading Programs. And for the WHOLE family this summer.
See you there!

I used to love the library as a kid. That is why I'm sitting here now doing my internet stuff. Great place to be! And, in summer it is super great for the kids. Glad to hear you have so many programs for them to enjoy and learn from.
