Space is quickly filling up for Mahon's Transylvania Clue program (July 7) where you will be the game piece in this spooky version of the popular board game. Be sure to call and register before it is too late (call 775-2838 to register). Refreshments will be served.

Movie Extravaganza Update

Movies 16 told us that they hope to have the showtimes by tonight or tomorrow, so keep checking the blog for titles & times. If mornings (looks like some of their other shows are at 11 or 12) work for anyone post to this blog or call 775-2838 and leave a number that you can be reached at. We may not be able to have a library staff member present but can meet you at the movies to get you your tickets. It looks like Mr. Poppers Penguins will be one of our afternoon choices.

Lights, Camera, Read!

For those who came and participated, "Thank you!". We had some awesome book trailers made which will be posted as soon as they are finished.


Movie Extravaganza

The titles that most likely will be options for next week are:

Transformers rate PG-13
Mr. Poppers Penguins rated PG
Cars 2 rated G
Green Lantern rated PG-13
Super 8 rated PG-13

They will not know the show times until next Tuesday and there may be a few more options but they are waiting on their corporate office to find out since Transformers comes out on Wednesday night. There is a big chance some of these movies will sale out quickly so we may not be able to go to some of them. Let us know which movie you would want to go to and if you would want to go to an afternoon or night show.
