Festivals and Summer Reading

Well, we're deep into the first week of Spoleto and Piccolo Spoleto programming here at Main and just a couple of days away from the start of all three Summer Reading programs.

This year has been an exceptionally active on for participation in the two festivals. We have the American Film Festival, and a slew of children's programs as part of Piccolo Spoleto and the Freedom Bound film series as part of the Spoleto Festival's focus on their production of Amistad. On top of that, we have Local Blend 2008, with 9 music performances. Needless to say, the Auditorium is well used right now and will continue to be through next week.

And on to Summer Reading. Today's photo is of one of the bulletin boards in the Main Library's Children's Department. Interesting detail--the bee hive is spray painted bubble wrap. You should see it up close!
