Summer Fun filled with everyday being a G'day for Reading

Come in any time after June 19 and sign up for our summer reading program.  The program is open for anyone birth on up to senior citizens!

We will be reading all about Australia, its regions, people and animals.  Suggested titles will be available but you are free to read whatever you want!

Special programs include:

• Joseph B. Carringer will share his knowledge of the history and art of the Australian musical instrument the didgeridoo.  We will hear it played in a variety of ways and be able to play along with Joseph using rhythm sticks.  An evening of stories and music await you at the Madbury Town Hall on Tuesday July 8 at  6:30 p.m.

• July 17 at 10:30 a.m. at the ORHS. One of our favorite experiences is spending time with the Wildlife Encounters Zoo.  The program will bring us several animals from down under - Red-necked Wallaby, Carpet Python and others await us.  If you have never seen a Wildlife Encounters program you have really missed a wonderful fun and educational experience!  They are so great that we booked them before they left us last year.  Any children who come dressed in Khakis will get a magnet and the best Steve Erwin look-alike will get a Wildlife Encounters T-shirt.  (Wildlife Encounters will donate $10 to the late Steve Erwin's Conservation Fund for each library booking).

•  July 21 at 6 p.m. at the Madbury Town Hall ~ A very special event for middle school, high school and adult readers will be participation in building and playing your very own didgeridoo!  Joseph Carringer will return to run a workshop for 12 people.  Priority will be given to Madbury residents with a wait-list for those from other towns.  Sign-up at the Madbury library.  This event is supported in part by a grant from the NHSL and donations from the Byrne Foundation, CHILIS, Cogswell Benevolent Trust, and the NH Library Association.

• July 24 at 10:30 a.m. at the Madbury Town Hall. This will be a g'day for science magic. Science educators from the Boston Museum of Science will show us the science behind some of the magic you have seen in the past.  Call Nancy at 743-1400 if you can help her with a hands-on activity after the presentation.  While toddlers are welcome and will enjoy the show, this program is geared for school age children.  It comes to us thanks to a special grant from the Boston Museum of Science.

• July 31 at 6:30 at the Madbury Town Hall Rachel Cilley will take us on a "Wildlife Safari Tour" of Australia and its animals.  The program is based on her six months spent living in Australia.
