Ed. Note: The Walpolean is a tad late but Librarian Frankie Knibb assures me that YOU are not too late to get going in the Walpole Library summer reading program. See details below. CCB
DISCOVER AUSTRALIA AT THE WALPOLE TOWN LIBRARY
G’day mates! Get ready to discover Australia at the Walpole Town Library Summer Reading Program, “G’day for Reading”. This annual statewide program is sponsored by the Children’s Librarians of New Hampshire. The Walpole Reading Program runs from Wednesday, June 23 through August 8.
Eager young Aussies can go down under at the library beginning on Wednesday, June 16. So sign up for the book club and special events. We have programs lined up throughout the summer where you can learn about Australia. Best of all, read your way through the Library’s great collection of books on all things Australian, their customs, creatures and coral reefs.
Kangaroos, koala bears and wombats! What’s a wombat? Find out on Thursday, July 10 at 2:00 p.m. when the Nature Museum at Grafton gives a presentation on the animals of Australia. Hear “Dreamtime” stories, celebrating the culture, customs and art of the Aborigines with Angela Klingler on Thursday, July 24 at 2:00 p.m. Enjoy the antics of REALLY BIG puppets when Martha Dana, puppeteer extraordinaire, comes on Wednesday, August 6 at 2:00 p.m. More programs will be announced later in the summer.
Sign up for a travel adventure at the North Walpole Branch Library, too! Nancy Hague will be offering four programs during the month of July on Tuesdays. She has lots of activities, games, crafts, and theatre to share with you. These programs will be offered on Tuesdays, from 9 to 11 a.m. on July 1st, 8th, 22nd, and 29th.
Registration is required for most of these special programs so come in early. An adult must accompany children to these programs. All programs are free and open to the public. For a complete schedule of events and more information about the program, please contact the library at (603) 756-9806. Discover the joy of reading!
