Greetings, Friends!
We have so much news to cram into one month! Please bear with us as we attempt to remember everything important.
For the month of June, York Public Library will receive one dollar from each reusable bag purchased at Hannaford as part of their Hannaford Helps program. If you're not already a convert to the reusable bag solution, do the environment and the Library a favor by trying it out in June.
Speaking of groceries, when you finish your milk or other beverage from a #2 plastic container, rinse it out and bring it to the Library. In July, we're hosting a very special artist in residence who turns clear #2 plastics into masterpieces. We'll collect your clean jugs at YPL in advance of her arrival on July 13. (*Please make sure they're clean. Perhaps you're not one whose kid left a not-quite-finished container of milk your car before, but take it from personal experience, you don't want to smell the results.)
Have you seen the parade of elementary school friends in the Children's Room over the past few days? Even more classes will be visiting in the weeks to come. For many kids, this is their first visit to York Public Library, so Librarians Katie and Barb are busy giving them the tour and gearing up for our Summer Reading Challenge. Is a kiddo in your life among our visitors? Ask them what they learned at their library visit!
Read on for more about our Centennial Auction, upcoming events, staff book picks, and a summer reading teaser.
Yours,
York Public Library ___
