Are you stuck at home this summer? Wouldn’t it be great if you could visit another country and learn about its people and culture? Well, this Thursday you can tour the world without ever leaving the Library!
For our last Homeschoolers @ the Librarymeeting before summer break, we’ll create art based on the traditions of several cultures and do some learning in the process. Students will be able to visit individual stations throughout the program to participate in a hands-on craft from various parts of the world.
Come Join Us for the Colbern Road Evening Book Club

I usually follow musicians and movie stars through Twitter and Facebook as well as those excuses-for-stalking shows like Entertainment Tonight. I have also been called a groupie and a fanatic when it comes to country music (especially Keith Urban’s), but when you’re talking about ultimate fandom, writers don’t usually come to my mind.

When someone asks what your favorite holiday in May is, don’t we usually think immediately of Memorial Day? Who doesn’t like a day off for the unofficial beginning of summer? Mother’s Day probably pops into your head too, since you don’t want to forget a special, flower-filled card for mom. But, what about May Day?
Who’s your favorite superhero? Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman? Did you know that every day you can be a superhero too?

Homeschooled and traditionally educated students are invited to the Colbern Road Branch on April 26th at 3:00 p.m. to get superhero healthy. Hope to see you there!
