Greetings from the Turin Library!

Improv4kids:  A great show is coming to Turin!  Area groups have come together 
to sponsor a free performance by the Improv 4 Kids group on July 26th at 2 pm 
in the South Lewis High School Auditorium. It’s an action-packed comedy show

been seen on Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, and David Letterman. The performance 
will be sponsored by Constableville Library, Lyons Falls Library, Martinsburg 
Library, Port Leyden Library, Turin Library, Mountain View Prevention Services, 
Inc, and The Edge Hotel. Improv 4 Kids, 2pm July 26th in the South Lewis High 
School Auditorium FREE.

Summer Reading Program:
          Our Summer Reading Program has officially started! We have a great 
bunch of kids who have agreed to try and read 750 books by August 4th and if 
they don’t do it, the grownups get to soak them with water bottles!  Make a 
Splash – Read! is the theme for this year.  Join us on Wednesdays from 4-5:00 
for some fun with books and water-type activities.  

 Jeff Boyer and his Giant Bubble Show:
          We had a great time with Jeff Boyer and his Giant Bubble Show.   119 
people, young and old, showed up to see his creative bubbles.  The library even 
bought some of his “Magic Bubble Mixture” to try and create some of his giant 
bubbles at our Summer Reading Party at the park.  Maybe we can put someone in a 
big bubble!

  Community Book Chats:    
          We have two new titles for our Community Book Chats!  Stop in for 
details, or to pick up the one you want to read.  The next two titles are Finn, 
by Jon Clinch, and  Growing Up Strong by Sadie Cantin, etc. (Four North country 
women Recall Their Lives)  The next meeting will be August 12th at 7:00 at the 
Turin Library.  Ask at the library if you have questions or need one of these 
books. 

  Earring Raffle:
         Joanne D’Ambrosi was the grateful winner of our earring drawing.  
Thanks to Kay Widrick and Betsy Kreilach for making us two beautiful pairs of 
handcrafted earrings to raffle off. 

Library E-News List  
          If you know anyone who may be interested in getting on our new 
Library E-News List, email us or call the library with their email address.  
It’s a quick and easy way to get updates and information on what is happening 
here at the library.  Sometimes we have things come up rather suddenly that 
don’t make the papers, and this would guarantee you receive the information!  

          And as usual, we have many great new books at the library! We have 
purchased many new Adirondack and local history “true ghost books”.  We always 
try to have most of the best sellers on hand as well. We strive hard to meet 
the needs of our local community by providing books, magazines, videos, DVDs, 
music cassettes, and Tales on Tape, etc.  Our local history and genealogy 
sections are quite extensive. We have 5 public access computers, a copier, fax 
machine, and don't forget we are wireless, as well!

        We are located on East Main Street and our hours are Monday 4-6:00, 
Wednesday 1-9:00, and Thursday 7-9:00.  Stop in for a visit!
