July 30-August 2 for Kids

If you can only pick one thing this week, please make it the Final Party with Judy Pancoast!

Monday, July 30 at 7:30pm:  Skywatch with the NH Astronomical Society.  If you've attended their other programs, you know just how cool this is.  We'll meet in the Meeting Room to hear what can be seen in the sky right now, then we'll go out to where the telescopes are waiting! 

Tuesday, July 31 at 4:00pm:  Stuffed Animal Sleepover!  Bring your second-favorite stuffed friend over for a story, then make them a nametag and tuck them in for a night at the library :)  They can be picked up on Wednesday, Aug. 1 after noon.  They'll have a little book of their adventures.

Wednesday, August 1 at 6pm:  PJ Story Time.  This is it--the very last one!  Wear your jammies and bring (or pick up!) your stuffed friend for one last round of stories, songs and craft/activity.

READING LOGS ARE DUE WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1 AT 7:30PM! 

If you wait past this point, I cannot guarantee you will be entered for the prize drawings.

You will still receive the ones you have earned (a book, Topsfield Fair pass).

Thursday, August 2 at 3:30pm:  Final Party with Judy Pancoast!  Enjoy Grammy-nominated musician Judy Pancoast and pick up your prizes, enjoy treats, see who won passes to the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center and Leo's Super Bowl, and who gets to sleep over at the library!
