You can register from the library’s website, www.bernepubliclibrary.org, through the ReadSquared icon, or fill in a paper form at the library.

Each month as the summer plays out, mini events will be launched for each age group in the program. From sloth-making to animal visits and slime to nature explorations. Climb on board and ride the wave of summer reading with the Berne Public Library.

Book Sale

If that’s not enough excitement for you, be sure to add the mega “Book and Media” sale to your calendar. Hitting the library lawn June 12 from 9 a.m. to 4 pm.., you’ll find everything from art to zen. Cookbooks, novels, dvd’s, and comics are a wee tease of all that’s available. From 3 to  4 p.m. on the day of the sale, fill a bag with books for just $3. 

Thanks go to the Friends of the Berne Library, who take the reins to organize and run this yearly book sale which benefits the library.

Hikes

Also happening in June, and throughout the summer, are once a month library sponsored book/hikes. June’s hike lands on June 13 from 1 to 3 p.m. Hike location to be announced.

Reading enjoyment

“The World Needs More Purple People,” a view. Kristen Bell and Benjamin Hart’s 2020 book, illustrated by Daniel Wiseman, is geared for three to seven year olds. There’s a number of adults out there who would  enjoy the story as well.

You’ll be charmed by Penny as she takes you through the five easy steps on how you can become a purple person. Remember, it’s just five easy steps and you’ll be a purple person too. There’s an especially charming kid line on page 27 just after the purple paint...well, check it out and see what you think.
