LIBRARIES ROCK!
That's the theme for the summer. We're going to dive into the science side of it with activities centered around rocks! Painting, building, fossils...etc

When you sign up you'll receive a folder with all the information, forms, and schedule times. The basic goal is to read (or listen) 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week. For every 20 minutes, your child will add a sticker to the reading chart. Book Bucks will be awarded and starting August 1st, the Prize Store will open!

We'll also have fun programming each week--except for the week of July 4th.

This all starts on Tuesday, June 26th for the 2-5 year olds, and Wednesday, June 27th for the K-rising 6th.

We have lots going on here at Libbie Cass in the coming month! Be sure to mark your calendars.

Join on a Friday evening to hear excerpts from Irene's book and participate in a question and answer time. Invite your friends and bring your older children. What an opportunity! Here's a little bit from her publicist:

Shores Beyond Shores: From Holocaust to Hope My True Story, Friday, June 15th. She has shared the stage with the Dalai Lama, Elie Wiesel, Desmond Tutu and other peacemakers. She is one of the few Holocaust survivors still alive, speaking and inspiring. But she has never told her entire story until now. Join us for a compelling author talk with Irene Hasenberg Butter as she speaks about how her family navigated the horrors of concentration camp life and survived.

The book gives readers a rare glimpse into the intimacy of family life during a time in history when many families fell apart. It speaks about the importance of family, of never being a bystander to violence and of the strength of the human spirit. A book signing will follow.

Hayden Keene, a local senior at Kearsarge, completed research on the Libbie Cass Library for her senior project. She'll be at the celebration to share her findings! Hope to see you there!

And look for information on the Summer Reading Program coming soon!
