Rockin’ at the Library!

 

This Tuesday evening, June 17, this Library will be rockin’!  Detroit Garage band The High Strung will be here to lead off our summer reading program with a few hot guitar licks!  There will be no shhshing going on here that night (the concert will actually take place on our south lawn – bring your blanket or lawn chair).

  With an opening act by Avon Lake’s own sensation, Alana Bilancini, this concert promises to be one of the big acts of the summer here in Avon Lake and is suitable for all ages.  The audience will participate in improvising and performing a premier rock ‘n roll composition. 

 

 Check out The High Strung music here, and download a few favorites here at their MySpace page,

While you’re here, be sure to sign up for one of our three, count them, three, summer reading contests. We’ve got contests, and prizes, for children, teens and adults!  And don’t forget our Picture You Reading Contest.

Elf School

Dear Santa,

     On Saturday, December 1, 2007 the Avon Lake Public Library graduated over 40 eager elves from our Elf School. Your surprise visit added to the ceremony. Thanks for handing out the diplomas to our young (ages 5-8)graduates. Your words of encouragement were appreciated!

     Decorating their tunics was their first challenge. Each elf participated in: reindeer food prep, toy making, cup stacking dexterity drills, dancing, ear wiggling, and cookie making. They performed exceedingly well at all the tasks. The elder, knowledgeable elves that you sent down from the North Pole were excellent, enthusiastic teachers.

Happy Holidays, Avon Lake Public Library
