Berne Library Notes for Wednesday, June 9, 2021
Pages from “Lion of the Sky, Haiku for All Seasons” by Laura Purdie are posted for a StoryWalk in Knox.
There’s a Berne Public Library-sponsored walk scheduled at the Emma Treadwell Nature Center on June 13. Are you interested in popping in? Bring your walking shoes, sunblock, and water as we check out the trails, look for new flowers showing their blossoms, and tune into surrounding sounds. Connect all your sensory capabilities through sight, sound, smell, touch, and possibly taste.
Join in on Sunday, June 13, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Emma Treadwell Nature Center at 87 Nature Center Way. After the walk, a visit inside the nature center is on the agenda. Lots of exhibits to see, plus interns on hand to answer any questions. Looking forward to seeing you June 13 at the Emma Treadwell Nature Center at 1 p.m. for a leisurely stroll and visit.
Book and Media Sale
Friends of the Berne Public Library are prepped for their 2021 gigantic book and media sale. The annual event was cancelled in 2020 so they are rip roaring to get this extravaganza launched. Set your alarms, mark your calendars, post your notes for this Saturday June 12, from 9 to 4 p.m., and be prepared to score bargains galore. Rain date is June 19.
You’ll find books for adults, children and young adults. Also, DVDs, audio books and music CDs. Plus a few surprises to discover along the way. Remember to swing by and help support the library while delighting in the hunt for new reads.
After filling your “cart” with lots of books, come inside the library and sign up for the 2021 Tails & Tales summer reading program. The summer reading fun runs from June 1 to Aug. 31 for 0 to 18 year olds. Adult wrap up is Sept. 10. Several events geared for each age group are scheduled throughout the summer. Receive a library appreciation token to take home when you sign-up.
