This will be my last newsletter article. I have to start by saying just how fantastic it has been to be a part of the staff at Ralls County Library. Our community is blessed to have such a proactive staff daily working hard to give us not only great literature but programs and activities.
June will kickoff our Summer Reading Program: Unearth a Story! Story hours will include the June 4th kickoff event in our outdoor classroom. June 11th Birth-age 5 will participate in George W. Carver as presented by W.T. Johnson. It will be worth your time! Week three we will be on a field trip to Ralls County Elementary for Mad Science presenters. Finally, week four we will be back in our preschool area to study Fresh Dirt! Remember to sign up anytime for summer reading. And again, Thank you for supporting myself and the Birth-Age 5 program at our library! It has been a blast!

Summer Reading is Here!
Grab your reading logs and fill your summer with great books and miniature dinosaurs. Every time you read three books come in to the library with your reading log to unearth a dinosaur and add it to your collection. There are twelve different kinds of dinos.
Can you collect them all?
Each week we will have a story hour adventure to enjoy, with games, temporary dino tattoos, special speakers, mystery books, field trips, and a beautiful step-by-step dinosaur painting.
There are stories tucked into every corner—between pages, within teacups, beneath a careful brushstroke—and this June, we invite you to discover a few.
