 open and we have a really exciting summer plan. Ta-da! The summer reading program for this year is TAIL. For our preschoolers, we have the summer tots programs on select Thursday mornings at 10 a.m. and we have our story times at 10 a.m. on Tuesday mornings. And guess what? They will be in person this summer. We are going to hold them on the side lawn at the library. And if it happens to rain on that day, we'll just meet together virtually via Zoom. Do you like baby birds? Well, for our three to five year olds and a caregiver, we have a baby birds program on July 12th at Wallace Park. Wallace Park is on Swift Road and it is a park in the town of New Scotland. And guess what? We have an outdoor bubble party for our babies and families on Saturday morning, August 7th. Doesn't that sound just super fun? Super. And how about for elementary school kids? We have a three week series called Earthworm Adventures. So if you are going into grades kindergarten through two and you want to join us for three weeks on a Wednesday morning, starting at the end of June, sign up using our calendar on the library's website. We also have SPIN, a retail, which is for grades three through six. And that will be held for three weeks at Wallace Park. We'll learn all about wonderful sheep and their wool and wool property. And you'll even get to dye and card your wool. That's something really exciting to share with you. If you are artistic and you like animals, we have a miniature wood houses program, which is taught by our wonderful art teacher and local mom, Megan Viscio. You will get to create and design your own little house and adopt a mini pet to go in your house. That is also held at Wallace Park. I have really exciting news for you. We are taking a trip to Greystone Stables on Gardner Road. You will be able to get up close and personal with some horse friends. And that is on July 19th. Kids in grades two through five can also sign up for a wonderful drama virtual program called Pushing Up the Sky. On July 27th, we have some wonderful things for our families. We have a virtual Zoom performance by Turtle Dance Music. There'll be music, bubbles, and a comedy show on the evening of July 21st. We'll all be together in that virtual space. There'll be singing, music, dancing, and bubbles. And we have a cardboard pet castle content for all ages. And we encourage all families to sign up and create a beautiful cardboard pet castle and submit a photo to us. We'll be entered to win a prize. Are you interested in movement and exercise? Why not try the family yoga class for ages three to seven and a special grown-up with them. And that will be out on the lawn at the library on the more Saturday mornings, July 24th and August 7th. Do you have a special stuffed animal friend at home? Are you going to camp this summer? Well, don't you think your stuffed animal deserves to go to camp too? Well, we will have a stuffed animal sleepover at the library. So you can drop off your favorite stuffy and you will not even imagine what they get into at the library. And of course, part of the summer is always reading. And we have a family book discussion on the evening of July 7th for grades four through eight and families. We will be reading this wonderful brand new book called Stella by McCall Hoyle. And the author, McCall Hoyle, will be joining us virtually to talk about this brand new book about a very special dog who has to overcome a really challenging time to help a special girl who needs her. We have a reading together book group for our younger friends who are going into grades kindergarten through two. And we are meeting in person at Wallace Park and we will be reading Meet Yasmin about a wonderful Pakistani American girl who is just full of energy and a local family, the Khan family, who are Pakistani American will be joining us to share about the beauty and richness of their culture. We have something really exciting planned. As far as you know, I love animals. And what's the theme for the summer? Tales and tales. So the first week of August, August 2nd through the 5th, Monday through Thursday, every evening from 6 to 8 at the Cornell Cooperative Extension, we have joined with our 4-H partners and friends to heaven. You ready for it? An animal meet and greet week. Wow. So every night of the week, you get to meet some really special animals from rabbits, to cows, to llamas, to chickens, to dogs. Oh, I just can't name them all. I'll get far too excited if I tell you about it. So go on over there. No registration is necessary. We have activities and wonderful things planned and you'll get to meet all of the animals. So check out our website and go online to register for all of these wonderful programs. We have some great things planned for the tweens and the teens too. In Creativity Lab, tweens and teens can create bird kites, air racers, critter crafts, or fantastic creature notebook. We'll be reading Blood Mountain, this fantastic book by James Coller, and then hiking at Helberberg Workshop with an experienced guy. Join us for a team time play day when you can play ridiculous games at Wallace Park like Crazy Croquet or some Olympic Challenge and more. For the month of July, we have a fun contest. Do you want to know what it is? I do. Okay. Have someone take a photo of you reading to your pet or a pet that you borrow. Give it a caption. Send it to us to enter to win a prize. And in August, we're happy to collect pet supplies for the Mohawk Pet and Humane Society because our animal friends could really use some help. So make sure you go to our EventKeeper calendar on the website and register for each program. We have to do things a little bit differently this year to keep things safe. Remember to go to the website, v-o-r-p-l dot org, and click on the button that says Register for the Summer Reading Program to create your own ReadSquared account to log in your reading and books. If you create an account by June 14th, you'll be entered into a drawing to win a Jericho Trident. As we all know, reading is so much fun and summer is a time for you to pick out the books you enjoy and want to read. Reading, of course, is its own reward, but we will have random drawings and grand prize packages for those who have a ReadSquared account and have logged in their reading. It's fun and easy to do. So we are so excited to see all of you back at the library. Our tales and tales will be a great adventure this summer at the Boris Public Library. Goodbye and see you soon! Bye!
