Programs will be put on hold in August and some will be scaled back in preparation for

the move to the new library. There will not be any Saturday movies during the summer

and the Chick Flick will only be held in June and July. The projected move will be late

summer or early fall. Once the move is complete, normal programming will then resume

with some new programs added. June-August 2013 Volume 5, Issue 4

We are going to be changing things up at Girls

Night Out on the last Thursday of each month

at 6:30pm. Due to there not being very many

movies to choose from we are going to start

letting those in attendance choose what we

show at the next month’s movie. We are showing

“Safe Haven” on May 30th. At that one we will pro-

vide you with a current release and also give the

option of going “Old School”. There are a lot of

good Chick Flicks out there that we have never

shown that are now going to be a possibility. So put on your

thinking caps to come up with some suggestions. Once we make

a decision about what movie to show we will change it on our

newsletter calendar online as well as post flyers and have

some on the front desk at the library. Girls Night Out will be

June 27th, July 25th and August 29th. If you have any ques-

tions please contact the Flatwoods Library.

The Greenup Public Library’s

“Chick Flick” has been

steadily increasing in

attendance on the

first Thursday of

every month at

6:00pm. In June on

the 6th “Mamma Mia”

will be shown. At the

June movie the decision for July

will be made on what to show.

Due to the library move there

will not be a “Chick Flick” in Au-

gust. They will resume in Septem-

ber. If you have any questions

please contact the Greenup Li-

brary.

The Flatwoods Branch has had some

wonderful volunteers these past

few months. We have had individu-

als as well as groups. The individuals

have helped us out by marking Ac-

celerated Reader books, clean out

newspapers for recycling, laminate

items for the library and make flan-

nel board stories for story hour.

One of the groups that have been

such a great help is Girl Scout

Troop 399 under the direction of

Troop leader Yetta Bauer. Yetta

and the scouts Rayna, Rozemieke &

Engelien provided volunteer time at

the library preparing our Summer

Reading Program materials and

helping with our library card tree.

We offer a very special thank you

to all of our volunteers.
