The StoryWalk™ , I Took My Frog to the Library by Eric Kimmel, will be posted at the Kellogg-Hubbard Library
    When Bridgett brings her pets to the library, the hyena laughs so loudly nobody can hear the story, the giraffe tries to read over everybody's shoulder, and the frog jumps onto the checkout desk, scaring the librarian. But it's the well-behaved elephant who causes the biggest problems of all! Join us for this fun story about bringing pets to the library. The StoryWalk™ will start in front of the library, circle around the building and end in front of the library. Bring your family, friends and visiting relatives to the library to read our newest StoryWalk™!

Star Gazing on the Silver Screen and In the Night Sky
    Last summer we had a Fairbanks Museum program called Star Quest that taught the basics and history of astronomy. It was so popular with children and parents that we obtained a grant to purchase a telescope for the library. Our new telescope, a Celestron NexStar 130SLT, is here and we're planning several star gazing events throughout the year. Our first event is on Wednesday, July 21 (with raindate on July 22). We'll start with the 2009 Star Trek movie (rated PG13) on the lawn at 8:30pm then use the telescope to gaze at the night sky. Bring a blanket, some snacks and enjoy the star gazing!

Displaced Southerners at KHL
    The next meeting of Displaced Southerners is scheduled for Thursday, September 9. Anyone born south of the Mason-Dixon Line is welcome to attend. We have met off and on since the fall of 2008, but have recently had an influx of calls and emails wondering if there is room in the group for new folks. Of course there is! So for all previous attendees and for those who would like to get together with other people who say “y’all” mark your calendar to join us on September 9. We’ll check in and see what everyone has been up to and plan a southern feast for early October. For those who don’t know, a southern feast is the equivalent of “food so good it’ll make you slap your grandma!” (Course, we know better than to actually do that.) So spread the word! If you have questions or comments, please contact Jane at 223-4665 or by email.
