BOOK SUMMER: Liz awakes in an unfamiliar room. Why is she on a ship in the middle of the ocean? Where is the ship heading? And who is the other girl name Thandi who is sharing her room? Liz finally comes to understand that she has been killed by a hit and run driver and is bound for Elsewhere. Life is not easier in Elsewhere than it was on Earth, and Liz has to learn how to deal with loss and change. Elsewhere explorers how we all must cope with life and whaterver is to come after our lives end.

Read for the Record

Summer reading is finished but we are still reading, having fun and breaking records at the Library! Everyone is welcome on Thursday August 24 at 11:00 when we make our contribution toward the national goal of setting the record for the largest number of children and adults reading the same book in a single day. The book selected is The Little Engine That Could by Watty Piper. At the library we will read The Little Engine That Could, along with a couple other train books and then do a simple train related craft on Thursday August 24 at 11:00 a.m. After story time is over I will enter the number of children attending story time online to be counted as reading toward the record. For more information you can go to Jumpstart Read for the Record. If you can not attend the story time at the library but would like to read for the record you can read to your children at home and then record it at their website as well. Lets help set a world record by reading! ~Sara

Teen Final Party

I am very sorry. There has been a mis-print of the date of the final party for the readers in the Teen Summer Reading Program at the Pinckney Library. In the original flyer and on the library web site the date for the Teen Final Party is listed as August 4 (Friday) at 4:00. That is not true. We will be celebrating summer reading with our teen readers (Creature Feature) on Thursday August 10 at 4:00. This is when we will finish raffling the prizes for the teen summer reading program, eat food, make a craft (macrame key chain), and have fun! So please remember to change your calendars so that you remember to attend the Teen Final Party at the Pinckney Library from August 4 to August 10 at 4:00. Sorry about this mistake.
