Swing by the Bill Woods Park across from the library on Friday August 6th for the final showing in this summer’s outdoor movie series.  The movie will start at dusk (probably around 9:10), but you should plan to be there by 9pm just to be safe.  Free bottled water and popcorn will be provided for anyone attending.

If the weather proves uncooperative, we will reschedule the movie to a later date.

Readkiddoread.com is another excellent resource: find book suggestions based on children’s age and reading level, lesson plans and reading guides for educators, interviews with authors and book reviews for parents, and much more.

You can also search for the website’s easily accessible Facebook page! Look for “Read Kiddo Read” when you log in to the social network.

If you are ever in the mood to read a classic work but unable to make it in to the library, then Pagebypagebooks.com might be a good site to check-out.

Update: Due to unfavorable weather conditions, we are cancelling the Saturday July 31st Movie in the Park.

Weather permitting, we plan to show the rescheduled movie on Saturday July 31st in Bill Woods Park.  The movie should start at approximately 9pm.  Be sure to call the library for the movie title ((606)549-0818).
