CHILDRENS SUMMER READING PROGRAM

This summer our KIDS Summer reading program was very well attended, the theme this year was MAKE A SPLASH AT YOUR LIBRARY. The children read over 250 books, with a grant from the State Library’s KIDS, BOOKS and THE ARTS, we had Simon Brooks, storyteller, come to visit, he offered a workshop for the kids to learn about being a storyteller. We also had a program with the support of the Moosilauke Library entitled, MAD SCIENCE, where the kids learned all about the difference between MAGIC and SCIENCE. All had a great time. Our final program was LETS GO FISHING, a program offered through the NH Fish and Game. We had 9 kids and their parents signed up for a 3 hours workshop, where they learned about how to fish, they practiced casting, and what you need to be a safe fisherman. On Saturday August 7th we went up to Beaver Brook pond on Lost River ROAD and got to go fishing. Paul, the instructor said that if there are girls in the class, they will be the first to catch a fish, and SHE DID.
All the participants received their very own FISHING LICENSE.
Thanks to all the businesses that offered incentives to the kids Clark's Trading Post--Hobo Railroad--Lincoln Cinema IV--Storyland--Ice Cream Delights--Monkey Trunks--Alpine adventures.

presented by Sebastian Lockwood as Caesar

Caesar: The Man from Venus Meet Caesar as he grows up in a Rome that is recovering from one civil war and headed for another. Meet the powerful women in his life who help him achieve his destiny: his mother Aurelia, his aunt Julia, his wives and his great love Servilia. This is the man who claims descent from the Goddess Venus herself. We watch his rise to power in Rome, his great adventures, his time in Gaul and finally, after he crosses the Rubicon, his war with Pompey that will leave him the most powerful man in the world. We see him as Venus joined with Cleopatra Isis. Here is your opportunity to ask the great man the questions of his time and how they relate to ours.

Your Hit Parade--25 Years Presenting America's Top Popular Songs. Presented by Calvin Knickerbocker

The radio and television program "Your Hit Parade" chronicled American popular music from 1935 to 1959. Presenter Calvin Knickerbocker will outline the quarter century during which the show served as a "tastemaker," featuring songs inspired by the Great Depression and on to the advent of rock and roll. We'll explore the show's relationship with sponsor American Tobacco and Lucky Strike cigarettes and hear about the artists the show helped launch and promote, from Frank Sinatra to Pat Boone. Knickerbocker will treat you to excerpts from original recordings of the songs that "Your Hit Parade" showcased on its weekly Saturday night show, from one-hit wonders to classic numbers still familiar today.
