Battle of the Air Bands

Hey all you battlers!! Just wanted to remind you about submitting your music for battle of the air bands by September 29th. That way, I can get a feel for what you are going to be lip synching to and guitar playing to on October 6th!

Help us out!

We have been busy little pumpkins at the library, planning our upcoming Halloween Party, which is going to be super fun! We need some help, though. For one of our activities, we will need several empty, clean 2-liter soda bottles. Please bring in any that you have at your house. Thank you!

Bake Sale

Something we forgot to tell you at the YAC meeting this week-we have been asked to do the bake sale again this year. It will be the first weekend in November. At the next meeting, we will be looking for volunteers to bake and also to work at the booth. It is lots of fun-you get to spend extra time with Miss Lowe.

TV shows

We now have two opportunities for you to volunteer in May, in addition to the Summer Reading Volunteers we also need.
On May 13, we are having a bagging party for the summer reading club. You can help us put together the prize bags that the little kids will get over the summer. Refreshments will be served.
On May 20, there will be a parade on Oak park Ave. of storybook characters. We need two or three volunteers willing to dress up as story book characters and help out at the parade.
