Hey there everyone!
We here at the library are smack in the middle of Summer Book Club Craziness! Little people everywhere, doing crafts, reporting on books, etc. It’s a fun place to be. If you’d like to volunteer for the Summer Book Club Carnival on July 21, give us a call – 356-6188 ext. 12. Brenda is in charge of volunteers and she’s always looking for more.
After Book Club, we are thinking about doing another movie night, maybe in August. Our last movie night we showed Blind Side and about 20 people came and enjoyed the movie, popcorn and snacks, for FREE! It’s a great place to hang out with a bunch of your friends, everyone’s welcome!
What I need to know from you is, what movies would you want to see? We have a couple of thoughts, maybe Avatar? Or what about a Twilight/New Moon double feature? Weigh in on those two or suggest any others you might want to watch. I’ll post all your suggestions later, maybe we’ll have a vote!
Enjoy your summer and remember, the lake is a great place to take a book to enjoy while you bask in the summer sun!

I love the idea of having another movie night! Since conflicting schedules didn’t allow me to make it to the other movie nights, I am very excited about making it to this one. However, I do not like either of the suggestions made for the movie we would watch. My parents do not approve of Avatar or the Twilight Saga movies, so if that is what’s going to be shown my two younger siblings, the friends I would encourage to come, and I would not consider coming.
One of the movies I would recommend is Invictus. A moving story about the rugby world cup game that caused the nation of South Africa to unite as it never had before. I think this movie would be very relevant to this summer and the recent soccer world cup played in Africa. It is also lacking in some of the violent and other questionable content that cause the other movies to be disliked by my parents.
To sum up: my vote would not go to Avatar or Twilight. I don’t really mind what is shown just as long as it is PG or a less content filled PG-13 movie. Another good choice would be the movie Extraordinary Measures, and there is always the good old favorite, The Princess Bride. With any of these choices I would be more than happy to come and bring a bunch of friends if possible. (I would have come to The Blind Side, but my parents were busy and I coudn’t drive yet.) I know I am not the only one among my friends who wouldn’t come if it was Avatar or Twilight, so I hope you choose something different.
Thanks for all that you do!
