Blaine County Library

Last week we had an art themed program. Kelsey read book about art and artists and then we turned the kids loose with paint in squirt guns and salad spinners! The works of art will be displayed in the library. Tuesday July 19th we will have a yoga theme. LEGO Club will be today for kids grades K through 6. Kids not in school yet may attend with adult supervision. Thursday will be Middle School Hangout for grades 6-8. Minions will be the Beat the Heat Movie on Monday July 18th. It is rated PG and lasts approximately 90 minutes. All programs start at 2:00 p.m. and we welcome kids of all ages and abilities. 92 kids have signed up for the Summer Reading Program so far. There is plenty of time to sign up and get started! Prizes this year include an art kit, a set of magnetic building tiles, a KNex kit and a LEGO kit. Accelerated Reader Tests are available on all the computers at the library.

We have many new books to choose from this week. "Ghosts of War" by Brad Taylor, "Once Shadows Fall" by Robert Daniels and "Die of Shame" by Mark Billingham are thriller ready to go this week. Other titles available are: "Barkskins" by Annie Proulx, "Sweetbitter" by Stephanie Danler, "Everybody's Fool" by Richard Russo and "Vinegar Girl" by Anne Tyler.
