Friday Ramble

Whew. What a whirlwind of a summer it has been! Can you believe it's the end of July already? Where did the time go - seems like just yesterday we were figuring out what to do for Summer Reading ...

Summer Reading
We had our last program this week - an End-of-Summer Bash to celebrate the successful completion of a summer of fun and exciting programs at the Library! So many happy, smiling faces have attended programs, and picked up craft kits, and we loved seeing the excitement of children turning in their time cards.
Don't forget: all reviews/time read must be submitted by 11:59pm on Sunday, 7/31, to count toward the giveaways! We can't wait to tally the numbers and see just how much Archdale readers have been reading this summer. Y'all rock!

Speaking of Summer Reading...
Swing by next week to see what Archdale readers have said about some of their highly-rated summer reads. (We do read the reviews you submit!)

Armchair Travelling
The last few weeks have been weirdly hectic schedules, so at night we've been looking for something to watch that is interesting but doesn't require a lot of brain power (no new historical dramas just yet, thank you). Over the weekend we discovered a documentary series from NatGeo "Europe from Above" that perfectly fit the bill.
The cinematography is gorgeous, and the insider "sneak peeks" are fascinating. After devouring Season 1, we're now on the hunt to find the other seasons available for streaming, as well as any similar shows.
Have you done any armchair travel like this?

New Seasons Ahead
Summer is definitely one of the most exciting (and active!) seasons in the Library, but there's so much of the year left. (Yes, I know, it's hard to believe we're less than 5 months from Christmas, but there's still 5 months of 2022 to go!). August is always a sleepy month, as we sift through summer leftovers and everyone adjusts to new schedules (school starts back!), but September will bring the return of Book Break and who knows what we may be planning.
