My LINKcat AccountIf you're reading this on Thursday, then the Packers have already held their first practice in shells (i.e., shoulder pads and shorts). It was this morning at 8:15. And if training camp has started, came pre-season football be far behind? Not at all! The first game is August 9th. At least the football drought is about to end. The end is also in sight for our Summer Reading Program. In five days - count them, five-on July 31st we will have our annual Harry Potter Birthday Party. If you're a fan of the books or the movies, stop by between 1:30 and 3:30 p.m., have a piece of birthday cake, watch a "slug" eating contest, help judge the costume contest (by your applause), eat Bertie Botts Every Flavoured Beans, and sip some pumpkin juice from an old family recipe. After the Harry Potter Birthday Party there are only 4 days-count them, four-until the end of the Summer Reading Program. Saturday, August 4th, is the last day that you can record the books you've read for the program. The end of the Summer Reading Program is only five - count them, five-days before the first Packer preseason game. I'm not sure if that's relevant, but there you have it. Between now and those marvelous upcoming events, we have plenty of books for you to read to help you while away the time. Scroll your eyes down the page and you'll see a sampling of all the exciting new books that have arrived at your library. Enjoy!
