Berne Library Notes for Wednesday, June 10, 2015

Reading books and playing strategy games involve problem solving. Through these enjoyable activities, people gain skills that contribute to success. It makes sense that both books and games are available at the Berne Public Library whose mission is to provide resources for education and entertainment.

Teen action group

The teen action group will be playing games on Friday, June 12, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.  Join other teens for a fun night at the library when the building is closed to other patrons.

Game night

Game Night for adults is Sunday, June 14, at 7 p.m. Play board games with your peers and develop strategy skills. Any interested community member may attend.

Father’s Day

According to British poet George Herbert, "One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters."  Father's Day on Sunday, June 21, recognizes the contributions by father figures.  

Story time

Dads will be the focus of storytime on Tuesday, June 16. Children ages one to five and their caregivers are invited to join Ms. Kathy for stories, activities, and a craft. Make a gift to give to an important male figure.

Lego League

Fathers may bring their children to play at the library. Lego League meets on Saturday, June 20, at 11 a.m. and is designed for children ages five to 12.  Use the library's Legos to create an object to be put on display until next month. The younger siblings may come and play with the Duplos and puzzles.

If father's are feeling unappreciated, remember the words of American author Mark Twain:  "When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years."
