Sally got to the phone just before the answering machine picked up.
“Hi Mom, did you see they’re going to have lambs at the library’s live animal series?” Teresa asked.
“Hi sweetheart. No, I haven’t heard that. Your father hasn’t come in with The Enterprise yet. Did you read it online?” asked Sally.
“I saw it on the library’s Facebook page. That nice girl, Emily Vincent, is going to be there with some of her lambs. Do you want to join us? Harry and I are going to bring the kids to it.”
“That sounds like a wonderful idea,” Sally replied. “Is your sister Molly going?”
“She’s going to get back to me. Jonathan might have a sports thing that night,” Teresa said.
“Oh, right. Well, what time and day is it going to be?” asked Sally.
“It’s Monday, August 2nd from 6 to 7,” Teresa told her.
“OK, I’m putting Emily’s lambs on the calendar for Monday, August 2nd, at 6 o’clock and your father and I will meet you there. Maybe we can all go out for ice cream after?”
“Sounds good, Mom. See you Monday then. I’ll relay the message to Molly.”
Sally cradled the phone, then picked up the new book she recently checked out from the library for the adult summer reading program. Cat Warren’s true story about raising and training a cadaver search dog, “What the Dog Knows: The Science and Wonder of Working Dogs” is turning out to be quite a learning experience.
Music in the Park
A couple other things happening in libraryland you might want to know about includes the third featured band for the Music in the Park series sponsored by the Friends of the Berne Library.
This Wednesday, Aug. 4, you can tap to the music of the Hilltown Ramblers. Starting at 6:30 p.m. at the Berne Town Park you’ll find some tunes, an array of delicious treats for purchase at the snack window, and probably a few jokes from the M.C. Make it a night. Maybe you’ll see Sally and Marshall there, dancing up a storm.
A slimy treat
Thursday, Aug. 5, at noon, 5- to 12-year-olds are invited in to make some Blobfish Slime with Carrie. Who doesn’t like playing with slime?
After a blobfish story time, children can make their own slime blobfish complete with googly eyes! Turn your Thursday into a slimy treat for the kids and then take out some books or movies for the weekend. Questions? Call the library at 518-872-1246.
