For our
children, Assemblywoman Addie J Russell is sponsoring The New York State
Library’s Summer Reading Challenge.
This reading program is offered to children who continue to read
during the summer months. Parents
or guardians will verify the reading of each child and can register on a
form that can be picked up at the library and sent
to Assemblywoman Russell’s office. In
return, you will receive a certificate from Assemblywoman Addie J.
Russell. Pick up your
forms now and get started with your summer reading adventures.
The
Hawn Memorial Library Arts Alliance will be offering matting workshops for
anyone who may be interested. The
date of the classes has yet to be scheduled, but we will let you know ASAP.
Please call the
library at 686-3762 or stop by to register so that we can see how many
people are interested and we will have enough supplies on hand.
Even if you only want to matt your favorite graduation or wedding
picture, this is the class to sign up for.
The
second Defensive Driving course has been scheduled for July 23 and 24 on
Thursday and Friday from 9-1. These
seats go fast, so call the library at 686-3762 to register for this event.
Cost for the workshop is $12 for members and $14 for persons who
are not members of AARP.
A
reminder that the Summer Reading Program is July 8th at 10 a.m.
with readings of the Hawaiian
culture, and 11 a.m. we will enjoy the Hawaiian Folk Singer, Voss
Ra’illianu Fernandes. At 1
p.m. we will be making Hawaiian crafts, Leis, bracelets and bright colored
hats. On July 15th and the 22nd the staff and
volunteers will be helping young people make a tie-dye shirt from sharpies
and alcohol. Bring a white
t-shirt and let’s see what wearable art we can accomplish with the new
wave of tie-dying. A really
fantastic shirt is on display at the library.
On the 29th of July, the Summer Reading Program will
feature a Grab Bag of activities. Pick
a bag and let’s see what becomes of it.

The Pasta

the help from the Natali family, this has become the most successful fund
raising event for the library.
Due
to scheduling conflict, the August meeting for the Hawn Memorial Library
Board of Trustees will be held on Wednesday, the 19th at 4 p.m.
A
perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the
birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken. –James Dent
