Holiday closings

Because of the Fourth of July, the library will be closed July 3 and 4. We will reopen at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, July 5. And the children's Summer Reading Program, scheduled for July 5 at 1 p.m., will go on as scheduled. Have a happy and safe holiday, and let's be thankful for this wonderful country of ours.

CLASSIC TV

Do you enjoy old TV shows? We've got some goodies on DVD thanks to a donation. There's Jack Benny, Roy Rogers, Eveybody Loves Raymond, and several DVDs of Bonanza. Actually, we've got a bonanza of Bonanza, if you want to look at it that way!

Lions Club Calendars

The last two copies of the 2006 calendar are in the library for anyone who would like to purchase them at $6 each. These are the last two Homer Lions Club calendars ever. A real collector's item.The calendar will continue, but under the auspices of the Homer Library. The Lions Club has graciously given this community project over to the library.

eBooks for kids - some fun in the summer

Go to www.lincolntrail.info/whatsnew.html and click on the link for Tumblebooks, and chose from stories, non-fiction, puzzles and games, language learning etc. for children. The one book I watched and listened to was very well done. I had a group of boys behind me watching along and enjoying the story of a sleep walking father.

Memorial Books

The Homer Lions Club has contributed two books to the library in honor of former Lions.
The books are Lincoln: A Life of Purpose and Power in memory of Gene Happ, and Advanced Bass Fishing in memory of Stanley Smith. We appreciate this memorial gift.

New Stuff

Bleeding Hearts by Susan Wittig Albert, and Like Dandelion Dust by Karen Kingsbury are our new adult novels. Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins and The Cay by Theodore Taylor are the new junior fiction titles. And we have added Digestive Wellness by Elizabeth Lipski for your health information needs.

Our new DVDs, for your enjoyment, are Glory Road and High School Musical.

Summer Reading Program 2006

Voyage to Book Island starts tomorrow at 1 p.m. Children ages 5-10 are invited to come each Wednesday for the next seven weeks at that time for an hour of fun, games, crafts and prizes. July 19 will be the final program, with the awarding of prizes.

The Front Door

Have you tried to get in the building and found the door locked? Sometimes the door locks itself when it is shut hard. Sharon and Bub have worked on it to alleviate the problem. However, we are asking that when you leave the building, shut the door slowly. If you hold onto the door until it is fully closed, the problem won't occur.

Thank you!!
