SUMMER NEWSLETTER
Summer's splendor by the sea,
A gentle blue serenity
Caressing rays of golden sun
Blushing, bronzing all who come.
No place on earth as perfect to be
As Summer's splendor by the sea.
Patricia L. Cisco
Summer, some say, is the best time to be on Cape Cod! We welcome back all our snowbirds, summer regulars, and new visitors to the Cape as we share our favorite season.
The Library has many activities and programs just for the summer months.
Miss Jo-Ellen is back with her wonderful story/craft hour on Tuesday evenings from 6:30-7:30 for children ages 3-8 during July and August. This year's theme is "Find Your Voice" and you will learn and hear many stories about other ways to express yourself.
Our popular take and make STEM projects will be available for kids 7-12 in July and August.
Once again we are offering a certified babysitting class for ages 11 and up over 2 days - Monday, August 7 and continuing on Wednesday, August 9 from 9-1. The cost is $25 and you must sign up at the library by July 28. Please bring a snack and a drink. Participants receive a certificate at the completion of this class.
The summer story walk at Johnny Kelley Park is PETER THE PIPING PLOVER by Amanda Maguire, a local author. The story walk will be available in July and August for all ages.
Be sure and check out the Dennis Libraries Little Libraries by the Sea located at Corporation, Cold Storage, West Dennis, and Glendon beaches. You can pick up a book, children's book, dvd, or audiobook throughout the summer. Please do not return the book or add a book, instead pass it on to a friend. Last year we gave away over 5000 books!
The Tuesday Crafters have been busy and are planning another craft fair upstairs to start mid July through to mid August. New items have been added, especially the hand stenciled bags suitable for the beach and the grocery stores.

Audio Books, DVDs, and e-Books
Don't forget if you are travelling, one way to help the miles race by is to borrow one of our wonderful CDs to play in your car. You can also download e-books to your Kindle, Nook, or I-Pad instead of loading up on books you have to carry. Lastly, if you have excited children or adults who need some down time, come checkout some DVDs from our extensive collection.
