Week 1 of Summer Reading

Registration began last Monday and we’re off to a great start.  Tonight will be our very first program.  Michigan Author/Artist Mark Crilley will be presenting an hour program at 6 p.m. in the Meeting Room.  He will do several on-the-spot drawings that he will be leaving behind as gifts for the library and maybe a lucky winner!  Mr. Crilley will also be letting in on some of the secrets of being an author and we hope he will have time for questions! 

Registration is helpful in advance…but you can always stop by if you happen to be at the library!

Next week’s program is a Martial Arts demonstration by Sensei Penfil.  He has a studio right here in Wixom.  He has very generously offered to donate his time to teach us a little about martial arts.

Don’t forget to register for the Summer Reading Club!  The first 100 teens to sign up will receive a coupon for a free cone at Ritters.  (Thanks Ritters!!!)
