    The library would like to invite the community to join them and be part of their annual Back to School Fair from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, July 27.

    Get ready for a delightful treat as Dublin Lions Club and Dublin Dairy Queen serve hot dogs and ice cream for attendees starting at 11:30 a.m.

    A perfect end to summer bash! We have special activities for the children with a foam machine from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., which is sure to bring joy. Last year, the Back to School Fair was a huge success, with over 200 children and families participating. Let’s make this year even better!

    As we kick off the preparations, the library is in need of a few additional items. Needs include: backpacks, personal hygiene items (i.e. soap, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant), new socks, new underwear, new or like new makeup bags.

    “Your generosity will make a huge difference in the lives of the children in our community,” Library Director Adina Dunn said. “Together we can create a fun, successful event to help our children start the school year off on the right foot.”

    Summer Reading Club is officially underway with reading logs available to pick up for both kids and adults.

    Readers can log books they read in the summer months and turn in the list by July 19 for chances to win great prizes and the opportunity to claim free books. Prizes include a Nintendo Switch, AirPods and much more!

    Grab and Go craft activities are available every week with new assortments available each Tuesday. This week’s theme is Out of this World. Next week’s is Folktales.

    This week, the library has several activities taking place.

    On Thursday, June 13 at 1 p.m., Lyndi Hanna and Annie of Annie’s Therapeutic Companions will be at the library to teach how to care for a dog and child safety around dogs.

    On Friday, June 14 at sunset (around 8:45 p.m.), the library will host a free Outdoor Movie at the library showing Monsters vs. Aliens. There will also be free popcorn for attendees. Everyone is invited to bring their chairs, blankets and bug spray for the event.

    At 11 a.m. Saturday, June 15, there will be an activity for kids. Kids will learn about asteroids and make their own, see a demonstration about how comets are formed, and get to explore some activity stations about space. Those participating in asteroid creation need to be at least 7 years old due to small parts.
