Registration & parental consent required
Limited openings

Ready to cook up a little fun this summer? Jacqueline Lawton, consumer science teacher at Central A&M School District, leads participants in three lessons aimed at introducing the basics of cooking.  Along the way, we’ll learn about kitchen safety and cleanliness, the ins and outs of recipes, and how to navigate around the kitchen.  Of course, the best part will be preparing real dishes – a little bit of everything from breakfast to dinner to snack time - and sampling them.  Each week there will be new recipes to take home for try for practice.

This is designed as a three-week “mini-cooking school,” so registrants should plan to attend all three classes and need only register once for the series.  Because class size must be strictly limited, participants are encouraged to register early and commit to all classes.

Game Day
Thursday July 10
1:00 – 2:30 p.m.
Ages 6+ 
No registration required.

You say you enjoy playing games, but don’t have anyone around to play them with you?  Game Day is the answer; instead of being bored bring your board game to the library where there will be plenty of worthy opponents looking to “get in the game.”  Try new games and enter to win prizes.  Enjoy snacks.  Our VolunTeens will be there to assist players.

Back by popular demand, Jennifer Hudson and Tara Morr, from the Basket Art Guild, will conduct two sessions of basket making featuring all new projects.  Children ages 8, 9, and 10 may register for the morning session which begins at 10 a.m.  Those ages 11 and older may register for the afternoon session.  During the afternoon session, parents are invited to participate along with their children, but they must register to take part.  Projects to be announced at a later date.  Check the library for display samples.

Take Me Out to the … Movie

We’re taking a “time out” from games to sit back and watch a movie in relaxed  air-conditioned comfort.  It’s a fun, sportsy movie (title to be announced) and we’ve arranged for some great snacks. So relax, curl up on the blanket and pillow you’ve brought and enjoy a little time off.
