The book of the month is The Raft, by S. A. Bodeen.
Robie, an experienced traveler, is on a flight from Honolulu to the Midway Atoll. A storm hits, and soon she finds herself and the plane’s co-pilot, Max, trapped on a raft in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. They have no water, and their only food is a bag of Skittles. There are sharks. There is an island. … 
We have the props, the scripts, the movie, the big screen and candy! Just bring your t/weenage self and a friend (ages 10+) and get ready for some play-acting antics in the jungle! It’s super easy to participate because everyone is ALL IN.

Summer Reading registration for the program itself begins on June 6th and will be in person throughout June and July. If we get 200 registrations or more, Kathy Watson is going to KISS A LIVE PIG!
Please note that you must register for all events separately. Check out what we have planned… 
It’s fun and easy! All you need is white or light colored fabric (we suggest canvas shoes, t-shirts, socks, etc.) and some sharpies to create beautiful works of art. Draw your favorite doodle or make fun designs with your favorite color sharpies. Once you’re satisfied, add some rubbing alcohol and watch the magic happen! You’ll be creating your own unique style in no time.
Sharpies in a multitude of colors… 
For many, drawing can be an extremely relaxing practice. Create your own characters or learn from the masters. Stop in to the Children’s Room where we will have all kinds of zentangles to color and how-to-draw books to practice your skills with.
Registration is not required for this event. Drop in anytime between 3-5 PM and leave when you must.
