Congratulations to Michael Sheehan who was nominated for a Book Page Spotlight Award! Michael has been a staff member at the library for over 30 years, and has been facilitating the History forum for 21 years. Someone recognized his hard work and nominated him as an outstanding librarian.
Summer's getting into full swing at the library! As part of the Pennsylvania Humanities Council Speakers Series, Commonwealth Speaker and KYW film critic Bill Wine will be at the Library on Friday, July 11th at 7PM to discuss Based on the Book: Bestseller Cinema. Come join the talk about why we love the book and hate the movie (or vice versa).
To emphasize the point, join our book discussion group on Thursday, July 10th at 7.30 to discuss Dennis Lehane's novel Gone Baby Gone. Then, on Friday, July 18th at 7PM, we'll feature a screening of Ben Affleck's screen adaptation of the novel.
For the kids, things are hopping like grasshoppers. Mondays feature bug-themed matinees. Stop in on Thursdays for Buggin' Out crafts. And we have Friday Morning Live programs through the end of the month.
Members of the professional softball team the Philadelphia Force will be here on Tuesday, July 8th. And the Eagles Bookmobile will be stopping by again.
And don't forget to grab up your summer reading books before the summer's gone!
