Karate, Baseball, and So Much More!

Summer Reading Program will be over soon, but don’t worry, we here at the library have a lot of stuff lined up before the end!

This Tuesday at noon, adults can join us for our Library & Lunch program! Bring your own lunch and discuss Angry Housewives Eating Bon-Bons by Lorna Landvik.

Weekly storytimes are available for all ages! Storytime for Babies and Toddlers is Tuesdays, July 12 and 19, at 11:15 am. 3rd – 5th graders can come to storytime on July 12 and 19 at 2 pm. Preschoolers and Kindergarteners have a storytime on Thursdays, July 14 and 21, at 11:15 am. Storytime for 1st and 2nd graders is on July 14 and 21 at 2 pm. Join us at storytime for sports-filled stories, songs, and a craft!

If you can’t make it to our regular storytimes, or if Friday mornings are just better for your schedule, you can come to Spencer Browne’s Coffeehouse for a special storytime on July 15 at 10 am! Enjoy coffee while your kids enjoy stories and a craft.

We also have a couple more special guests coming; they should help us get up and get moving. This Wednesday at 1 pm, an instructor from Rine’s Karate will show us some easy karate moves. All ages are welcome at this program. Then, Wednesday the 20th at 10 am, Liberal’s own Beejays Baseball Team will be here to show us some baseball basics – bring your glove and ball, if you wish.

This Friday at 1 pm, join us for board games, followed by a family-friendly movie at 2 pm. Popcorn and lemonade will be served during the movie.

This Saturday at 1 pm, join us for Outdoor Fun Day! We’ll be coloring Frisbees, designing with sidewalk chalk, and playing fun outdoor games.

Teens shouldn’t feel left out, as they have their own special events! Tuesdays, July 12 & 19, teens can join us at 4 pm for a movie and a craft. On Thursdays, July 14 & 21, teens can join us at 4 pm for our videogame & tabletop game club. Play on our Wii, Xbox, or Playstation 4, or challenge your friends to one of our many board games.

Teens and adults, our popular Coffee & Craft days will be on Wed., July 20 at noon and Thurs., July 21 at 6 pm. This month, we’ll be making decoupage boxes. Decorate a small box to keep your jewelry or treasures in while enjoying coffee from Spencer Browne’s.

Friday, July 22 at 1 pm will be our End of Summer Reading Party! Come celebrate all the reading we’ve done and all the fun we’ve had this summer with ice cream and games – you might even win a prize!
And don’t forget to turn in your kids’ and teens’ Summer Reading Logs by July 27! This is so that we can make sure everyone gets a prize.

We do have a few things scheduled after Summer Reading ends. On Tuesday, July 26, join us at 6:30 pm for our monthly recipe swap! Bring a vegetable dish and enjoy everyone else’s recipes.

On Thursday, June 28 at noon, adults only can join us for our popular dice game, Bunco! Refreshments will be served. Registration is required, so visit our website or talk to Shannon to sign up.

We will have a storytime on Thursday, July 28 at 11:15 am. Kids can learn through stories, songs, and a craft!
Watch a family-friendly movie and enjoy popcorn and lemonade on Friday, July 29 at 2 pm.

We hope you join us at the library for karate, the Beejays, Bunco, Outdoor Fun Day, and/or any of our other great programs this July!
