August is here to remind us that Summer is almost over.  Before it's gone however we have some cool programs on the schedule.  From baseball to bubbles there's a little something for everyone here this month.  Be sure to keep up with your reading log and stop into the children's department for your reading beads.  As always, we'll have copies of the summer reading list....get them while you still can!  Hope to see you soon.

The former Mayor has written a very timely account of Methuen politics from his time as mayor, titled The Value of Political Capit$l.  Mr. DiZoglio was Methuen's first modern-day mayor, taking office in 1994 and holding that office for 6 years.  He faced many challenges and accomplished much during his time in office, and is now sharing the insights he gained in this new book.  Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing, and refreshments will be served.  We are anticipating a crowd for this event, so please register on our website or by calling the Main Desk (978-686-4080 x20) and carpool if possible! .

U. Mass. Lowell professor Frank Morris joins us to show how  baseball galvanized a divided nation in the 19th century and developed into "America's Pastime" as an allegory to our cultural identity in the decades to come.  Includes a history of the Boston Red Sox and a look at how the game both reinforced and challenged key cultural themes over time.  Frank lectures around New England on literature and sports in American culture.

We're sad that summer is over, but we are excited about our end of summer celebrations! On Thursday, August 16 at 11 AM, Keith Michael Johnson is presenting Bubbleology for kids entering grades 1 through 6. He fascinates audiences with the art and science of soap bubbles by building beautiful sculptural creations. You may even be selected to be enclosed inside a gigantic bubble!
