Planning a Trip This Summer?
Are you planning to take a family vacation this summer? Don't forget to pack the books! A great way to pass the time in the car is reading. Don't forget books come in several formats and can help entertain multiple age listeners. Check out the children's books on tape or CD as well as our Playaways. If you haven't heard of a Playaway - it is a small player that contains one book. All you have to have is a pair of earphones and you are good to go! You can also use the WILBOR program off of our website to download books for free to your MP3 player. There are many choices for all ages and they are all free! For assistance with the Playaways or with downloading books, ask at the Youth Services Desk or Information Desk.

Art Smarts Scavenger Hunt
Are you Art Smart? As a compliment to our summer reading program we brought back our popular scavenger hunt from last summer. Instead of bugs, kids will be looking for items having to do with art - ART SMARTS! There are 20 pictures hidden around the youth department. Kids pick up an entry sheet and then match the pictures and numbers once they locate the items. Completed forms should be placed in the "red box". Winners will be randomly drawn for some great prizes. Children should only enter once - but wait! When the color of pictures changes, you can enter again! We will have two drawing s throughout the summer.
P.S. - Need some assistance? Can't find one of the pictures? Ask for a Hint at the Youth Desk!

This Week's Website of the Week
I love Olivia the pig! She is definitely a pig with attitude. I chose her website this week because of some of the fun things for kids to try. Once you get to the website look under the Fun with Olivia section. Be sure to try the Painting Game. Kids can paint (in black, red and gray!) pictures and then print them out. I think these would be great stationery, wrapping paper, gift cards, etc. It will become addictive to even the not so young and the great part is - you can paint as often as you like and not waste paper! Have fun!
