Aaaand we're off! Summer Reading is finally here! We have some incredible grand prize raffles for every age group, so stop by to sign up any time starting this week. If you come Monday you'll find some fun and games and a little visit from a prehistoric pal of ours!

Monday is also the first day to sign up for our teen Book vs. Movie Club meeting on the 25th. Pick up a free copy of Jurassic Park while supplies last and then join us to watch the movie and compare!

Then Friday adults and teens can stop by the Youth Services Desk to pick up their kits to enter our Teeny Tiny Art Show. Create your masterwork on a 2x2 inch canvas, then drop it off and join us for the extremely fancy exhibition of the 25th!

May has gone by so quickly but we're so excited for summer reading! The theme this year is Unearth A Story and--

Wait a minute, is your glass of water rippling rhythmically? Do you hear a distant stomp growing ever closer? Your spoonful of Jello is jiggling erratically, is there a lizard-like shadow lurking behind me?! You know what that means...

That's right, to celebrate the beginning of summer reading we are unleashing dinosaurs into Bledsoe Park in the form out an outside screening of Jurassic Park! Come enjoy this beloved classic with us in the fresh air!

Holy moly, we did it! We've successfully completed our first puzzle as a community at large!

The only thing sweeter than working together towards a common goal is of course...ice cream! Grab yourself a cone, Leander, you've earned it!

Stop by to piece together the new puzzle when you can!

As you may have known or suspected, the library will be closed this coming Monday, May 25th in honor of Memorial Day.

Happy Sunday, friends! Today is World Baking Day so it's a great opportunity to make yourself something sweet...or hit up the HEB bakery section (shout out to their fudge and cream cheese brownies).

Here's a look at our programming week at the library. And hey! Check out our community puzzle table. Puzzles are more fun when we solve them together!

Whoever is officially in charge of the speed of time we humbly request that you slow things down because we can't believe it's already the tenth!

Teen volunteers, don't forget to submit your applications to work our Summer Reading Prize Table this Friday!
