Penguin ready to swim

We couldn’t find any pictures of ME in at the pool… so here’s my friend Penny. She’s not a moose, but she’s a pretty good swimmer.

Hello!  It’s me, Mortimer Moose!  I want to talk about summer today!  Are you all on summer vacation now?  I am!  Well, I don’t go to school, because I’m a moose, so I’m not sure what I’m on vacation from, exactly…but I’m definitely on summer something or other!  Yay me!

What are your fun summer plans?  I am going swimming a LOT.  Moose LOVE to swim.  I try not to get the pool all hairy for the other moose, but you know, I shed.  Do you shed?  You don’t have as much hair as me, so maybe you don’t notice.

I want to finish the summer reading program at the library so I can come to the FREE swimming party at the Dover Pool!  SOOOO FUN!  Even though the Librarians said I couldn’t do any of my reading while swimming. Well.  We’ll just see about that!

 

PS: Date of the swimming party is tentatively August 12. That means… well… we’re not completely, positively, one-hundred-percent sure that it will be on August 12. So, please contact my friends Miss Dani, Miss Jen, Miss Syrena, or Miss Bonnie to double check closer to the event date.

June 11 is Interantional Yarn Bombing Day! Help knit, crochet, wrap yarn, or make pom poms to decorate the front entrance of the library on Saturday, June 11 at 9 AM.  All ages and creative ideas are welcome! What is Yarn Bombing? Yarn bombing is the art of integrating yarn into public spaces in fun and inspiring ways. “Yarn bombs” (the product of yarn bombing campaigns) are collaborative, improvised fiber art installations that infuse outdoor public spaces with color, warmth, and playful humor. They often incorporate a variety of knitting, crocheting, and yarn crafting techniques, reflecting the creative and social diversity of both the artists and the surrounding community.

An Evening with Author Joanna Connors

Join us on Thursday, June 30 at 6:30 PM for An Evening with Author Joanna Connors.  Joanna will discuss her new book, “I Will Find You: A Reporter Investigates the Life of the Man Who Raped Her.”  While on assignment for the Cleveland Plain Dealer to review a play at a college theater, then thirty-year old Joanna Connors was held at knife point and raped.  Once her assailant was caught and sentenced, Joanna never spoke of the trauma again, until 21 years later, when her daughter was about to go to college.  She resolved to tell her children about her own assault so that they could learn and protect themselves.  While doing so, she began to realize that the man who assaulted her was one of the formative people in her life.  Joanna embarked on a journey to find out who her attacker was, where he came from, who his friends were, and what his life was like.  “I Will Find You” is a brave, timely consideration of race, class, education, and the families that shape who we become, by a reporter and a survivor.  This program is part of the Library’s Nights at the Round Table Author Series.  Call 330.343.6123 to register. A book signing will follow the program, which is free and open to all.
