It's a "G'Day for Reading" this summer at the library!

Dear Rumney Readers,

We had a wonderful event here at the library on July 8! I saw many of you at the fun and silly puppet show, "The Three Little Pigs Downunder," put on by Vermont Puppeteers, "Just 2(me and you) Passing Thru." Boy, did they do a great job making us laugh! That sheep puppet, Sophie, was especially funny! Everyone had a good time, and it was a great way to get us excited for the Summer Reading Program, "G'Day for Reading."

I'm very excited, because every Saturday, from July 12-August 2, there will be a story time at the library about Australia! That means I'll get to see you even more, and you'll have a chance to learn about this great country through stories, songs, craft projects, and fun games. Are you ready for the fun to begin?? I know I am!

Here are the times and dates of story times and events for the rest of the summer. Make sure you let your parents know!

July 12- Welcome to Australia

July 19- Wallabies, Joeys, and Dingoes, oh my!

July 26-Music and Art of the Aborigines

August 2-A Tour of the Great Barrier Reef

August 9- Old Home Day; Parade and Musical Performance


When you come to the library, you'll see me sitting at a table reading. Today I'm reading, Magic in the Mist, a book about a boy named Thomas who wants to become a wizard. Sometimes when I'm reading, I don't notice anything else, so make sure you stop and say hello!

I hope you're all having a wonderful summer so far. I'll see you at our next story time, this Saturday, July 12!

G'Day Mate, and Happy Reading!

Love,
Byron G. Bear
