This Week at the Library: Almost Summer

We’re getting into the home-stretch before summer, so there are a whopping FIVE programs this week! So take advantage of them! But we know that a lot of people are finishing up school years and spring sports and planning summer vacations, but once the summer kicks off, we’ll help keep you busy!

One big program we have coming up is Tuesday night.

The Pennsylvania Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities have sponsored a presentation on "German Music, Dance and Instruments" by Keith Brintzenhoff. Brintzenhoff has performed in German and English for over 40 years throughout the East Coast and even in Germany and Switzerland!

He's the President of the Kutztown Folk Music Society and his performances are described as lively and humorous. The program starts at 6pm tomorrow and requires advanced registration, as we are required to have a minimum attendance. Please contact the library ASAP if you'd like to register! But it sounds like a great program, and if the weather’s like it is today, a great activity for the evening!

This week at the library:

Tuesday: German Music, Dance and Instruments; 6:00pm; advanced registration is requested, as we’re required to meet a minimum audience size by the sponsoring organizations. Mr. Brintzenhoff is an expert in this subject area and will demonstrate instruments, dancing and more! His entertaining programs will have audience members participating! A great opportunity! And we know there are a lot of people who love their Pennsylvania German roots in this area, so come get some insight into the culture!

Wednesday: Intro to Excel adult computer class; 10am-12pm. Advanced registration and a $5 fee required.

May Drop-by Storytimes, 10:30am and 12:30pm. No signup is required and these storytimes are for children who were in the 2s, 3s, 4s or Kindergarten programs during the school year. Intro to Microsoft Word adult computer class, 11am-1pm; advanced registration and $5 fee required.

Friday:  Job Searching and Resume Basics adult computer class; 10am-12pm. Advanced registration and a $5 fee required.

Please contact us if you have any questions on anything going on and we’d love to see you in sometime this week!

And just as a heads up for parents of  preschoolers through teenagers: summer reading signups go out in less than two weeks! At 9:00am Saturday, June 2,  to be exact!

Please see the Parents tab of our Kids Homepage for some general information about types of programs and times. More information will be coming as we get closer. Also, the normal “This Week” post will be coming a day later next week, as the library will be closed on Monday. We’ll reopen again at 10am Tuesday. Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend!
