Did you know that the Newark Library is hosting a poster contest in honor of Children’s Book Week? If you are twelve or younger and have a favorite children’s book, we’d love to see what kind of a poster you can create! The poster must show something about your favorite book and must be flat. It can be any size. Please turn in your poster between April 26th and May 13th in order to have it counted for the contest. We will display the posters in the Children’s Area of the Library during Children’s Book Week, May 13th – May 18th. Please add a note to the back of the poster with your name, age and a phone number/e-mail address, along with a note: Attn: Mary Ayers, Children’s Book Week Poster.
Have you been by the Newark Library to see our wonderful display? This is our second annual photography showcase, with all photographs being original artwork of the digital photography classes at Newark Memorial. We have ballots out for everyone to vote on their top two favorite pieces. Hurry and make sure your vote is counted – voting ends next Friday, May 2nd at 2 p.m. We will have an awards show for all of the students whose work is on display here at the library. The awards show is scheduled for Tuesday May 6th from 6:30-8 p.m. The awards show is open to the public and we will provide light refreshments at the show.
Do you love building with Legos? We are hosting our first ever Lego Club meeting this Thursday night (tomorrow) April 24th from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Anyone is welcome to join us – all you have to do is bring some Legos along with you! Unfortunately we cannot provide Legos for everyone so we are asking that you bring your own along to the meetings. We will have a theme for the night each month. We will try to post the theme in advance for future meetings. We will also have light refreshments at the meeting. This is the place for everyone to get together, share ideas and tips on building and just have a great time! Lego Club will meet on the fourth Thursday of the month, every month. Registration is not required. Each person will receive a membership card at their first meeting.
