Join us at the library for our reading buddies program. 

 

Book Buddies is a program where students in currently in grades 1, 2, 3 as of May 2022 will read with and do fun activities with teens ages 13-17.  The purpose of the program is to keep up the reading level of students through the summer so they are ready to go back to school in the fall maintaining their reading level. 

 

The program takes place every other Wednesday May-August dates are:

5/25, 6/8, 6/22,7/6, 7/20, 8/3, 8/17, 8/24, at 4:00-4:55pm

 

(Note: The reason it is every other Wednesday is because there is a book club for grades 3, 4, 5 that takes place on the opposite Wednesday. Ask at the desk for details.)

 

Buddies may register at the children's desk starting Monday May 16th by calling 769-9044 x2 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Teens may register at the children's desk starting Monday May 16th by calling 769-9044 x2 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

 

We need to register both groups prior to the start of the program so we can match up teens to their reading buddies.

 

We do offer community service credit to teens for school for this program. Each younger reading buddy will receive a certificate of completion of the program to hand into their teacher in September. 

 

A new poll shows President Biden and former President Trump currently in a dead heat in the upcoming presidential race. Quinnipiac University's latest national poll found registered voters evenly split in their choice for president in 2024, with 46 percent supporting President Biden and 46 percent supporting former President Trump. In a five-way matchup including independent and Green Party candidates, Biden and Trump are still tied with 37 percent support apiece, while independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. drew 16 percent support.        More pro-Palestinian protests are breaking out on U.S. campuses. Texas state troopers on horseback are at the University of Texas at Austin campus today as the "Palestine Solidarity Committee" says it wants to establish a foot hole at the UT Austin campus. The school says the protesters will not be allowed to set up any camps.        Donald Trump's criminal hush money trial resumes Thursday. Former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker is expected to continue testifying for a third day, after explaining to the court how he paid people for the rights to negative stories about Trump only to never publish them in order to protect the presidential candidate. He's also expected to be questioned about Stormy Daniels, the adult film star whose alleged affair with Trump is at the heart of the criminal case.       Millions of salaried workers in the U.S. will soon qualify for overtime pay thanks to a new rule from the Biden administration.

The law says that if a prospective juror can provide documentation to the judge that they're currently breastfeeding their one-year-old or younger child, they can be excused.
