@ Your Library 7.8.22
By Beverly Ewart
Ramped Up!
We had to tamp down on entry through our side door for quite awhile, but we think you will agree that this renovation has been worth the wait! The new ramp is pleasing to the eye and easy on feet, strollers, wheelchairs, and crutches! The project includes stairs directly off of the back of the ramp, facing the hedge behind the building, that lead to a newly paved area for relaxing outside. Bring a folding chair, check out a good book, and enjoy some fresh air in our backyard!
Anime Club happens on Thursdays, 5pm-7pm. Contact Zach for more information at zwoodleywhite@ncls.org.
CHILDREN’S PROGRAMS: Storywalks® begin this Friday at the trail at the Partridge Run Golf Course. The first book will be Piranhas Don’t Eat Bananas by Aaron Blabey, and every Friday in July, the story will change. Take a walk and read a story! Please be sure to scan the QR code at the end and answer the quick survey question so we can track how many people are enjoying the Storywalks®!
We are welcoming the return of in-person children’s programming with the 2022 Summer Library Program: Oceans of Possibility! Registration deadline was June 10th for the age-specific programs, but there are events that don’t require registration! https://cantonfreelibrary.org/summer-reading-program/ Mark your calendar for the Big Bubble Bonanza at 10:00am on Friday, July 1st. The show will be in the village park, so bring blankets or chairs on which to sit. The rain location will be the First Presbyterian Church.
Start thinking about registering children ages 12 and under who’d like to bring a pet to the Pet Show. Register by July 21st for the July 28th event. Children will tell us ahead of time “My favorite thing about my pet is_______!” and that will be announced at the show when the child and pet are introduced. Plush pets are also welcome and each pet will receive a ribbon sticker and each child will get a prize.

We’re so excited! Our 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten celebration board is just waiting for your child’s name! Come in once they’ve read 100 books to get them on the board and moving through those milestones! Register here https://cantonfreelibrary.org/1000books/
