| PROGRAMS IN THE ADULT LIBRARY SUMMERTIME PROGRAMS IN THE CHILDREN'S LIBRARY ~June 14 to July 17 Book Sale We have some of the best book sales in Vermont. Our books are high-quality and organized by subject! Many are brand-new. Mark your calendar for the next book sale and help us raise money for the library. July 6th through July 17th by donation! ~July 1, 2010 to July 16, 2010 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™! ~Wednesday, July 21, 2010 8:30pm (raindate July 22) 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! ~Saturday July 31st, 8:30am 7th Annual Onion River Century Ride to Benefit the Kellogg Hubbard Library The Onion River Century Ride is a beautiful ride through the heart of the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. All proceeds benefits the Kellogg-Hubbard Library in Montpelier. Join us this year for our 7th Annual Onion River Century Ride by riding in the 110k (68 miles) Metric Century, the full 111 mile Century Ride, or 24 mile loop.  ~Thursday, September 9, 6:30pm 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. _________________________ LUNCH IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE Starting January 8th, 2008, want to brush up on your foreign language skills' Come to the Kellogg-Hubbard Library with a bag lunch and a dictionary.
