It’s that time of year again! The 2012 MCPL Summer Reading Program theme is "Dream Big...Read!" Beginning May 21, children are able to earn free books and prizes at their local Library. Children, ages birth to 6 years, listen to books being read to them and ages 6 to 11 read on their own.
"Own the Night" is the them for teens. Teens can earn library bucks by reading and reviewing books. Bucks can then be redeemed for prizes and library services.
Yippee! Pack away the heavy sweaters and boots, and dust off your flip flops, summer is just around the corner. What is your favorite summer activity? Swimming, picnicking, looking for hidden treasures at the outdoor flea markets, or fresh produce at the City Market? Here are a few popular ways to pass those good ole summer days.
Aren’t there two types of readers? The reader who truly loves the words, the story, and all emotion and action they can picture right alongside the author. Then, there's the reader who is forced to read a book, to write the dreaded book report, or pass a test.
So, I was listening to the radio the other day when I heard someone say that they never knew the Titanic was a real ship. That she hit a real iceberg, and real people died.
With spring just around the corner, gardening seems to come to mind. There are many different types of gardens these days. You can plant a flower garden, gardens to attract butterflies, or the good ole vegetable gardening. So, get out the gardening gloves and get started!
Remember when you were a kid and your English teacher handed you a list of recommended books for you to read over the summer? Did you read any of them, or just roll your eyes and throw the list away? If you threw away the list, you missed out on some great books.
You’ve seen the BEFORE, now come see the AFTER! The Camden Point Branch reopened Monday, April 2. We've undergone an enhancement that really shook off the dust and gave us a fresh new look.
The Camden Point Branch will be closed March 26 – April 1. During this week, we will all be working hard to enhance our branch so it can be its best for you. Any items that you have checked out from this location or items you might have on hold here will simply suspend in our system. Camden Point patrons will not need to worry about fines accruing during this week. Also, please note that Toddle Time and Storytime will be cancelled on March 29.
Since I went back to work, dinner can be an issue. But with the selection of crockpot cookbooks available at MCPL, dinner is no longer a hassle.
My favorite cookbooks are the Fix-It and Forget-It cookbooks for slow cookers, especially the ones that call for only 5 ingredients. It is so easy to toss everything in my crockpot, and when I get home a delicious meal is ready to serve.
