Christmas in July!

Yeah, we are celebrating Christmas in July, July 25th, to be more specific! Apparently, it's not that unusual. According to Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_in_July, it's mostly for commercial reasons that the US celebrates Christmas in July. But in places like Australia, New Zealand and the Antartica, where July is the coldest month, the celebration is as official as Christmas in December.
Come to the library and have cookies with us!

Police and Wiis!


In case you haven't heard, I finally got my hands on a Nintendo Wii! It's the grand prize in our summer reading raffle, so if you haven't signed up, I think you should NOW!!!

So where do the police fit in? No, I didn't get arrested in my quest, but Det. AJ Saball from the Shrewsbury Police will be here next Monday, July 9 to present a program on how police collect evidence and use it to solve crimes. No registration necessary, and this program is for students entering grades 5-12.
