Free Family Event at Splash Station
The good folks at Texas Real Estate Professionals, Capital Title – Cleburne, and Service First Mortgage have reserved the entire Splash Station for YOU!

From 7:30-9:30pm, on Saturday, July 16, the first 300 families will enjoy extended evening hours at Splash Station FOR FREE! They would love to make this event available to more people, but the maximum capacity at Splash Station is 300. Anyone under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Enjoy swimming, games, and grab a free snow cone as you leave. And, please thank the sponsors for this generous gift. Cleburne businesses giving back to Cleburne families … it’s another example of what makes Cleburne more than a city. Cleburne truly is a community.

Summer Reading Program Knows What’s Up
The movie Batman vs. Superman has a Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score of 63%.

The Library’s upcoming movie pick for its oceans themed summer reading program - Lego Aquaman: Rage of Atlantis - has a Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score of 86%.

Clearly, our library staff has their finger on the pulse of pop culture.

Join us at the library for this week's movie. Unless you are among the 63% who prefer 2 hour and 33 minute movies with pacing issues.

Let Go My Lego … Cause We Got Enough for All of Us
Seen the Lego movies but you’ve still got the Lego itch to create?

Join us from 10am – 11am on Saturday, July 16 at the Cleburne Railroad Museum to help build a railroad town and railroad tracks out of Legos (thank you Central Station Toys!). 

$2 per kiddo or $1 for friends of the museum.


I’m assuming Nick will be there. If not, he’s gonna be surprised the next time he sees his train.
Maurice Sendak Would Enjoy This
Tuesday, July 19, the Library is where the wild things are. Come for the books, stay for the exotic animals that will be visiting our library in the Wild Things Zoofari program.

Pet of the Week
Meet Splenda!

This sweet 2 year old girl must not know about the “terrible twos” cause she is just such a sweetheart. We think Spenda is a Retriever, Labrador/Shepherd mix. She’s spayed, available and waiting for her forever home.

Please come meet Splenda and see if you have a connection with this beautiful gal.
