News from your Library for the week of June 15, 2009, brought to you by Friends of the South Berwick Public Library.
Knit-erature Book Group will meet Monday, June 15, at 7 p.m. Knitters, stitchers and crafters of all interests are invited to come and work on their projects and discuss their current reads.
Children ages 2-16 are invited to sign up this week for South Berwick Public Library’s “Be Creative @ Your Library” Summer Reading Program. Stop in at the Library to get details on special summer activities such as drop-in craft days, camp fire sing-alongs, story times, and book discussions for children in grades 3-5, grades 6-8, and grades 9 and up to talk about their favorite books.
The first 200 children to register will receive a Portland Sea Dogs ticket, and there will be other prizes throughout the summer such as book bags, book marks and items from the treasure chest. As a special incentive, Muddy River Market Place is donating a free kid’s meal to all children who read a library book for 20 minutes a day for 30 days.
