Middleburgh Library Notes for Thursday, August 8, 2013
On Aug. 9, at 5:30 p.m., the Middleburgh Library is showing The Hobbit rated PG-13. We’ll uncover one of the greatest stories ever written as we watch the movie The Hobbit. The library will provide pizza and drinks and you bring a dessert to share. Something Middle Earth related perhaps? This program is part of our Beneath the Surface Teen Summer Reading Program. For kids going into grades 6 and up. Registration is required.
NBT Bank
On Aug. 12, at 6 p.m., the library will have a program by NBT Bank on financial literacy for teens in the community room.
Family film
On Aug. 13, at 6:45 p.m., the library will show The Pirates Band of Misfits rated PG. After years of humiliation and failed attempts to win the Pirate of the Year Award, Pirate Captain and his oddball crew go on a race to pillage the most booty. No registration is necessary and the popcorn is free.
Silent library
On Aug. 14, at 1 p.m., we'll be playing our version of MTV's Silent Library. You'll have to complete bizarre tasks while remaining completely silent, you are in the library after all! This program is part of our Beneath the Surface Summer Reading Program. For kids going into sixth grade and up. Registration is required.
Teen matinee
On Aug. 15, at 1 p.m., join us at the library for Jack the Giant Slayer rated PG-13. Sent to the market by his uncle to sell their horse and buy thatch for their roof, Jack meets the beautiful Princess Isabelle whom he rescues from ruffians. He returns home only with a handful of beans given to him by a monk who claimed they were sacred but that does little to impress his uncle who tosses them away. Soon the beans take root with a giant stalk carrying away the princess and Jack's house. He soon sets off on an adventure with the king's guards to rescue the princess only to find that a mythical land filled with giants really exists. No registration is required.
Knitting Circle
On Aug. 15, at 7 p.m. the ladies (men are welcome, but we have not seen any yet!) knit and crochet, embroider and quilt, and more. You can learn a new skill here, share your own special talents with others, or just craft in the company of friends. Drop in anytime! No registration is required.
