You made a BIG splash!

Congratulations to Manlius Library young readers for your overwhelming success in our 2010 summer reading program. We had over 700 children participate in the program. They read 14,900 books and a total of 145,624 minutes (some record books read, others time read)!! Miss Kori and Miss Emily, along with all of our wonderful library staff, commend your efforts at continuing to read through the summer, and we hope you develop a love of reading that lasts forever. Make sure to visit us throughout the school year for pleasure reading, research projects, games, stories, fun programs, and more. We're already looking forward to next summer, too.

A Magical Ending

Sad, but true, dear patrons of the Manlius library: Our 2010 Summer Reading Program is coming to end. The last day to report for prizes is Saturday, August 14. You have made a HUGE splash this summer. Way to go! To celebrate, come see the always-entertaining Ron Cain and his Magical Underwater Adventure Friday, August 13 @ 1 pm. The show will be in the Manlius Village Auditorium. No registration is necessary but come early for the best seat. We'll see you there.

Splash into Science!

Have you ever wondered how you can make the biggest splash in the pool? Why stones skip on the top of water? Or what determines how deep you sink in the water when you zoom off the end of a water slide? Find the answers to these and other fascinating water science facts next Tuesday, August 10 @ 3 pm when we'll be hosting an exciting presentation by the Milton J. Rubenstein Museum of Science & Technology. This 45-minute presentation is appropriate for school-age children. No registration is required but seating is limited.

This program is supported by Federal Library Services and Technology Acts Fund awarded to the New York State Library by the Federal Institute of Museum and Library Services.
