Summer storms abound, Little Elm Library not fair-weather friend
By Tina Hager
One thing for sure, if you’re surrounded by strangers and want to strike up a conversation, an easy and ever changing topic is the weather. This year you could easily talk about weather in other states and countries as well because this is the most unusual year for weather that I have ever seen. The comment I like to make to people who talk about the heat in June and July is “this is nothing, wait until August. If you can survive August in Texas, you can survive anything!” Actually, August last year was pretty mild. I personally think that this year is going to make up for it and then some. If you like making weather predictions send an email to thager@littleelm.org and let me know what your August forecast will be.
It is important to know about and be ready for any kind of weather and the library has books that can help you be prepared. Speaking of books, there are a couple of book sales that might be of interest to you. First of all, the Little Elm Public Library is holding its annual Scholastic Book Fair July 10 , 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; July 12, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and July 13, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The book fair is a good way to purchase great books at reasonable prices and help the library at the same time. There will be other items available for sale including bookmarks, pens, pencils, erasers, posters, computer games, and craft kits to name a few. These are new items and as far as I know, we should have some new books that will be available for $1 also.
A used book sale you should consider attending is the Friends of the Plano Public Library sale that’s being held July 15, 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. First nighter sale admission is $5 for individuals, $10/families, free for Friends members, July 16, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. free admission, and July 17, 9 p.m. to 1 p.m. free admission. All items $2 or less. For more information visit www.friendsofplanolibrary.org or call 972-941-7193. Library used book sales are a great way to get fantastic bargains and help libraries.
New books added this month include “The Burning Wire” by Jeffery Deaver; “The Bourne Objective” by Robert Ludlum; “The Passage” by Justin Cronin; “Sh*T My Dad Says” by Justin Halpern (I have started reading this one and have come to the conclusion that this guy must have had the same dad I did); and “The Lion” by Nelson DeMille.
There is still time to sign up for the July 10 activities that require registration. At 11 a.m. the Little Elm Crafters Guild will be making cross pendants as their jewelry project ($10 suggested donation) and at 1 p.m. that same day the Homemade Gourmet Dinner Boot Camp for ages 14 and up will be putting together four meals ($20 suggested donation) Call the library at 214-975-0430 to reserve a spot. Two free upcoming events that you may want to register for include the Writers Group presentation of Basic Spanish on July 15 at 6:30 p.m. and a Home sellers Workshop presented by RE/MAX and Leader One on July 24 at 10 a.m. We look forward to hearing from you.
