Name that Fish!

We had 22 children and 11 adults attend our first Summer Reading Program today at 2:00.  Kenny Saxe, a certified "Let's Go Fishing" instructor with the VT Dept. of Fish and Wildlife demonstrated techniques and showed us different gear, lures, flies and equipment for fishing in Vermont.  Kenny also drew the winning name for our library pet fish (a beta....not to be confused with bait-a).  Dory is our fish's name.  

Special THANK YOU to Kenny and to the Mad Dog Chapter of Trout Unlimited who donated autographed copies of Hugh Campbell's book "Lightning's Tale: the story of a Wild Trout".  Each family who attended got a copy of the book.  

Next Wednesday's program is July 7th at 2:00.  We'll have different stations set up around the library for kids to explore.  Observe changes in water temprature, discover water molecules in motion, create a boat and see how many pennies it will hold, experiment wih

Please join us on Wednesday, June 9th at 7:00 for Musician, Michael Arnowitt presenting his program "Music and Poetry".  Michael will bring his keyboard to demonstrate some of the discussion points as we explore interesting ways poets and lyricists build momentum, tension and resolution and why a writer chooses a particular word or order of words in a certain way to create a musical rhythm....
With examples from jazz, pop, classical music, and poets like Shakespeare, e.e. cummings and Samuel Coleridge this is sure to be an informative and enjoyable evening. 

Michael Arnowitt is known for his beautiful and sensitve touch at the keyboard, for the clarity and elegance of his musical ideas and for his abilities to find new articulations and colors from the piano.  His life and music is the subject of a documentary film, "Beyond 88 Keys" (2004).  The documentary, filmed both in the U.S. and in Europe, has been broadcast twice on public television and has been shown at a variety of film festivals and venues. 

Please contact us for more information about this FREE program on Wednesday, June 9th at 7:00 p.m.
