Gear up for a wonderful Super Storytime session at your Main Library. In one of the last programs of the Summer Reading Club, we’ll be following along with the fairy tale theme by hosting a storytime event on one of our favorites, “Goldilocks and the Three Bears.” As we all know, the curious little girl stirs up a lot of trouble at the three bear’s house and you’ll find out what she did at this event. Come listen to some great stories and sing some songs. Finally we’ll have a cute Bear Mask craft fit that you’re more than free to color and make at home. Limited seating will be available to the first 25 participants to meet the regulation of no more than 50% capacity of the room. For more information, contact Ellene Cudd at 325-676-6067.

Join your South Branch Library for back-to-back movies showing two great adventure comedies starring Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, and Kevin Hart in the reboot of the Jumanji film. Starting at 11:15AM we’ll be watching 2017’s “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.” In this film, four teens are sucked into a magical video game, and the only way they can escape is to work together to finish the game. Immediately following that flick, at 1:15PM we’ll be watching 2019’s “Jumanji: The Next Level.” In the sequel, the gang is back but the game has changed. As they return to rescue one of their own, the players will have to brave parts unknown from arid deserts to snowy mountains, to escape the world’s most dangerous game. Come for one, or stay for both, but don’t miss out on these popular movies. Limited seating will be available to the first 35 participants to meet the regulation of no more than 50% capacity of the room. For more information, contact Alyssa Crow at 325-698-7565.

If you’re looking to be part of a book club, join the virtual version of our Cover-to-Cover Book Club hosted on Zoom online. For this month, our featured book will be “Dragonfly” by Liela Meacham. In this book, at the height of WWII, a handful of idealistic young Americans receive a mysterious letter from the government, asking them if they are willing to fight for their country. The men and women from very different backgrounds - a Texan athlete with German roots, an upper-crust son of a French mother and a wealthy businessman, a dirt-poor Midwestern fly fisherman, an orphaned fashion designer, and a ravishingly beautiful female fencer - all answer the call of duty, but each for a secret reason of her or his own. They bond immediately, in a group code-named Dragonfly. There will be two meetings hosted this day, one in the afternoon and the second in the evening. The Zoom link will be sent to registered attendees the day of the book club meeting.
