Sunflower

All Garden Club Members, stop by Children's Services and ask to see the garden.  It is gorgeous. We have cherry tomatoes, corn, rosemary, chives, sweet basil, green beans, watermelons and the pumpkins are all flowering.  Our first sunflower has bloomed. It's almost July and we will resume Garden Club in August.

Think about what you would like to plant for our fall garden and we will begin to order seeds.  If you would like to donate seeds, please leave them with the librarians at Children's Services. See you all soon!

Monsters

 Bring a blanket and pillow to hide from the horrible monsters arriving at the Barbara Bush   Branch's Earl Elliott Room this Wednesday, June 23 at 2:30 PM.  What powers a city with electricity, laughter or fright?  The answer is coming in a movie about monsters this Wednesday afternoon.

While you are here, check out our famous monster books. Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendack is one of my all time favorite books and there is the great There's a Nightmare in my closet by Mercer Mayer and last but not least Precious and the Boo Hag by Patricia C. McKissack and Onawumi  Jean Moss.
