Hard to believe we are halfway through 2026, but July is coming soon. With that, unfortunately, comes the end of the Summer Reading Program on July 31. We have a big software change coming in August that may cause some disruption. More on that next month.
There are still lots of great programs happening in July including a Paleo Art program hosted by the Appleton-based History Museum at the Castle on Thursday, July 9 at 11:00am. This program requires registration so please visit or call the library to sign-up. Next, we have an all ages Mario Kart Tournament happening on Wednesday, July 15 at 1:00pm. The Library provides everything needed to play and everyone will get a change to do 3 races. There will be prizes for 1st and 2nd place. On July 22, Youth Services Librarian Ms. Hannah will be hosting a Foraging Walk at Seven Maples Nature Area at the end of 13th Street. The final big program for the Summer is J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue who will be bringing live animals that share traits with prehistoric species! You won’t want to miss it!
Besides all those great programs we have a lot of great monthly and weekly programs, including two movie showings for “Jurassic Park” on Wednesday, July 8 and “Ice Age” on Wednesday, July 29. Both showings will start at 10:00am. Our monthly book club meets on July 20 to discuss the Tracy Chevalier novel “The Glass Maker” at 6:30pm. There are also weekly Kids crafts on Mondays at 1:00pm, Storytime on Tuesdays at 10:00am, and LEGO Club on Tuesdays from 12:00-7:00pm.
The last day of Summer Reading is Friday, July 31 so remember to bring in your tickets before 5:00pm that day.
Lastly, the Library will be closed Friday, July 3 through Sunday, July 5 in observance of Independence Day.
