Event Announcement

Change of location for THURSDAY SPECIAL GUEST event.

There are a lot of different events and programs going on at the library this summer and some are very popular.

We have had a request to allow more people (children) attend our Thursday Special Guest program. Normally it is held in our Cabot Meeting Room which can hold 22 children at a pinch. For Thursday, July 30 we will be moving the program to the rooms at the Studio B gallery just down the street from us.

The program will feature author Ryke Leigh Douglas. She has written several children's books and will be talking about the process of writing and getting published. The name of the program is "The Writer's Toolbox".

There will be some fun creative activities for children to participate in so don't miss this special guest program. Be sure to sign up by calling the library at 610-369-0496 or sign up when you stop in to borrow books and movies.

AUTHOR Visit!

Have you read any of the Pretty Little Liars series? (Titles include: "Flawless", "Perfect" & "Wicked") If you are a teenager there's a very good possibility that you have.

This is a new series by author Sara Shepared who lives in Chester County... AND she is coming to our library to talk about how she got started and what it's like writing a popular series of books.

Don't miss your chance to meet Sara Shepard on June 20 at 1:00 PM... bring your own copies of her books or purchase a copy or two from Sara and get her autograph!

On Towards Christmas

The Thanksgiving holiday is only days past but it seems the Christmas season began even before Halloween this year. Since I am tradition bound, I did not put up the Christmas decorations in the library until the usual Sunday after Thanksgiving.

We did, however, start planning for Christmas way back in September, so that we can offer programs and events for everyone. Here's what's happening:

December 5
- Local Author Ryke Leigh Douglas will read her book "Tock-A-Tick" during the 10:30am storytime (signed books will be available)

December 6
- The Friends' Used Book Sale will be held at the Odd Fellows Hall (just 2 doors down from the library) from 8 AM to 5 PM
- Christmas stories will be featured during an extended Story Corner (10:30 AM-12:30 PM) as part of Boyertown's community event "Chillin' on Main".

December 7
- The Bag 'o Books portion of the Friends' annual December Used Book Sale will be held between 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Just buy a bag from the Friends for $5 and fill it with any of the left over sale items.

December 19
- A special jolly fellow all dressed in red, with white whiskers and a twinkle in his eye will be at the library during the Friday 10:30 AM storytime. Children can assure him they've been nice and not naughty, and tell him their dearest Christmas wishes in a non-chaotic setting. (We all can use less chaos at this time of year!)
- Teen Lock-In party will be Friday evening from 6-10 PM. Teens (13-18) can sign up to join in the fun. Bring a Joke Gift ($2 or less) for the gift exchange, play games and eat pizza ($1.50/slice).

We will continue to have LapSit (0-20 months) and Toddler Time (18-30 months) storytimes on the Wednesdays throughout December - even on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve when the library will be closeing early at 3:00 PM. Our regular morning programming will not change on those days.

So hopefully everyone will have pleasant days during this month of holiday madness and be sure to make time to stop in to see us.
