Summer Reading: Tantasqua

We have received the Summer Reading lists from Tantasqua Junior and Senior High. We have a good variety of the suggested titles but don't wait until the end of the summer to get that reading done. It is hard to anticipate the end of summer as we just begin but the closer we get to the end of the summer the fewer books that are available.

SUMMER READING: Pre-K - Grade 3

Please join us for the 2010 Summer Reading program "Go Green @ your library". This program is designed for Pre-K - Grade 3 and will be held Tuesdays in July - 6, 13, 20 & 27 - from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

There will be stories, crafts and a snack. Pre-register your child at the library during regular open hours.

MOLLY THE OWL & THE OWL BOX

Did you ever wonder what goes on in an owl's nest? Some folks in California put up an owl box and attached a camera to "peek" inside. An owl family has inhabited it. Molly and her mate McGee started their family. Millions of people have been watching as the eggs hatched. Six eggs were laid and four hatched successfully.

If you'd like to see the owlets progress, go to:

With the help of an infrared camera for night viewing there is 24 hour video. It can be somewhat dramatic and/or unpleasant when McGee delivers his catches of the night. But it is an amazing window into nature.
