Berne Library Notes for Wednesday, July 20, 2022
Marshall was pacing, looking out the window and pacing some more — anxiously waiting for Sally to get home from her chair yoga class. There were important things to discuss about library happenings.
He knows about ocean-related Tuesday story-time programs, summer reading sign-ups, and weekly community events sponsored by the library. It’s pinning Sally down as to what events they will be adding to their library calendar over the last remaining days in July that he wants to clarify.
I mean the month is swimming by at a fast pace and he and Sally haven’t even gotten over to see the new display in the Friends Art Gallery yet.
Marshall started talking to himself. “OK, Marshall, calm down, relax, and just get the library calendar and Enterprise out so you’ll be ready when Sally gets here.”
Marshall heard the door open, jumped up, and raced to the entryway. “Sally, you’re here!”
Sally laughed when she saw him carrying their library calendar and Enterprise in hand.
“Getting a little nervous, are you, about making sure we hit all the library highlights coming up? Let’s fix ourselves some tea and go out back to look things over.”
Marshall took a deep breath, smiled, and gave Sally a hug.
“Thank you Sally. You know me so well.”
And so the evening progressed. They added the art gallery visit to Saturday’s activities. Viewing Susan Nye’s watercolor images will be a rewarding treat. Marshall remarked on loving the artist’s determination of adding the art of watercolor painting to her skill set after retiring in 2014.
Always learning, always exploring. That’s Sally and Marshall’s motto.
Sally put her feet up as Marshall read the rest of the library news aloud.
Ocean Treasures
On July 26, bring your young ones to Ocean Treasures and Pirates Story Time with Miss Kathy at 10:30 a.m. You’ll be looking for buried treasure hidden in the stacks after reading a tall tale or two. Along with crafts and playtime, it’s an action-packed get-together.
Bluestone Band
After the stories are put to bed, set your sights for Wednesday at the Berne Town Park to enjoy an evening of music. It’s the third installment of the Friends and Library’s Music In the Park series.
Starting at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 27, The Bluestones Band will entertain you with their wide selection of traditional and classic rock. You can also visit the snack window and grab a few goodies to munch on while tapping to the Bluestones beat.
Tie-Dye, Tea, and Turtles
Coming up Friday, July 29, look for Tie-Dye, Tea, and Turtles kicking off at 6:30 p.m. at the Berne Town Park.
While the art of “tie-dye” has roots dating back centuries ago in China and Japan, the swirling designs became popularized in the U.S. by the hippies in the 1960s and ’70s.
Adding Tie-Dye, Tea, and Turtles on the 29th, plus the Bluestones on Wednesday, the 27th, Sally and Marshall’s remaining July library calendar was set.
