Staff will be busy with Summer Reading programming and will then take a break during August. This summer’s theme of Dream Big – READ! will provide the opportunity for various fun-filled activities includ- ing a puppet show, tie-dying event, movies, sto- ries, crafts—all things nocturnal. Youngsters 0- 13 are encouraged to join their friends in the fun while keeping their brains active by reading dur- ing the summer. The first of the summer activi- ties will take place Tuesday, June 26th at 10:00 in the library. Prizes, including passes to the Oregon Zoo, Bullwinkle’s, Sky High Sports, and Out of This World Pizza, will be awarded to youngsters based on the amount of time spent reading. The out of town fee for students living outside the city limits will be waived during the summer allowing any student to check out up to three books at a time. In response to a question regarding fines on overdue materials, an attempt to clarify the mat- ter follows: Fines on overdue materials are $.50 a day for movies, $.10 a day for books (both audio and print format), and $.05 for magazines. A maxi- mum total of $2.00 is the limit charged on any one item. When items are returned late, the computer registers the amount and computes the total due. These fines remain on a patron’s account until they are paid. They do not magical- ly disappear. Keep this in mind and be responsible in returning your materials on time and paying any outstanding fines. It has recently been brought to my attention that Craig Johnson’s novels featuring Walt Longmire, sheriff of Ab- saroka County, Wyoming are being televised Sundays on A&E. The series stars Aus- tralian actor Robert Taylor as We can help you find high quality medicine Vernonia Public Library: 701 Weed Avenue Hours: Mon., Wed., Fri. 10 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Tues., Thu. 1:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. Sat. 10 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Preschool Story Time: Mondays, 10:30 a.m when school is in session.

John- son has written eight of these novels with Cold Dish being the first and As the Crow Flies (re- leased in May 2012) being number eight. I hope the television adaptations faithfully portray John- son’s novels, which realistically paint the story told in each one. The reader can feel the wind blow, hear the snowflakes fall and see the end- less beauty of Wyoming while becoming inti- mate with gruff, likeable Longmire, eccentric Henry Standing Bear and smart-mouthed deputy Victoria Moretti. I hope the television adaptations do them justice. Recent acquisitions include XO by Jeffery Deaver, Stolen Prey by John Sandford, The Girl Giant by Kristen den Hartog, and Newport Blues by George Byron Wright. Book discussion will take place Monday, June 25 at 5:30 with Heather Lende’s, Take Good Care of the Garden and the Dogs, being the top- ic. Monthly movie night will be Thursday, June 28 at 6:30.

This sale will take place Friday, August 3rd and Saturday, August 4th. 503-901-1705 TALK(8255) ----------------- 888-HLP-4-VET (888-457-4838)
