Newbery Challenge


The Summer Reading Program is officially over! How do I know? We had our annual Newbery Challenge Pizza Party on Wednesday!

This year we had 15 kids complete the challenge - read 6 Newbery Books in 6 weeks - and 11 of them were able to attend our pizza party, sponsored by the Reliant Community Credit Union. We discussed the books we read while enjoying pizza and cookies, then the kids went home with much deserved prizes and gifts. This year's crowd was probably one of our youngest, we makes us doubly proud of their accomplishment.

Summer's Final Program









To celebrate the end of our summer reading program, the Reliant Community Credit Union and the Friends of the Macedon Public Library sponsored "Balloon Crazy and Face Painting", a fun-filled afternoon with Jim and Cindy Pelc of Just Clowning Around. Jim taught us about the history and science behind balloons while Cindy painted faces.


The fun ended with cookies and lemonade provided by the Friends.

Bridge Building



A great big Thank You goes to Phil and Carole Klingler for their workshop this afternoon on Bridge Building. I've never had so many quiet kids in one room as they worked away on designing and constructing their bridge.

Playing With Water


What can be more fun on a dreadfully hot day than coming to an air conditioned library to stay cool? Well, our page, Nina DiLapi, and these kids know that it's water balloon games!! Although the morning started out rainy, by 1:00 it was hot and humid and we were ready to go.
