Upcoming events

Hey everyone! Just a quick reminder about what all we have coming up in the next couple of weeks:

• Teen Sizzling Shakespeare - Monday, 6/21, 6 p.m. There will be people here from the KY Shakespeare Festival group to teach basics of stage dancing and stage combat. For those of you who think Shakespeare is boring, come out and let us prove you wrong! It's going to be very cool.
• Teen Quilting - This Thursday, 6/24, 1 p.m., is the last quilting we will be having, so if you haven't made it to this program yet, don't miss your last chance! Experienced quilters will be here teaching you all they know, and they know a lot!
• Book Club - For those of you reading Stargirl for the book club, come to the second meeting on Monday, 6/28, 6 p.m., to discuss it. If you couldn't make it to the last meeting, but you have read Stargirl, come to the second meeting anyway!
• Gaming - The next gaming is Thursday, 7/1, 6-7:30 p.m. You need to have a signed permission slip to participate, so if you're coming for the first time, don't forget to bring it with you! As always, we'll have food and drinks here.
  
• Coming up in July - Creative writing class every Thursday at 1 p.m.; Water Fun with the CCPL teens (you'll be putting on the program for our younger kids) on 7/14; Pottery workshop on 7/19.
  
• Don't forget about your reading cards! Keep up with the reading, any reading, and keep track of your time on the reading cards! Turn in completed packets during store hours (which are on your calendar), and enter the drawings for prizes. In case you haven't seen them yet, here's a sample of the awesome prizes we have this year: Walmart/Target gift cards, camping set, iPod, iTunes gift card, UK gift basket, portable DVD player, etc. Also, don't forget everyone gets a free book for each of the first five packets they turn in!
  

We've got lots of cool stuff going on, so come be a part of it!
