Excuse me, cutie, but where do you think you're going?  Summer reading for babies is this way!  What?  You didn't know that babies could be part of Dig Into Reading at Hoover Public Library?  Well, they can!  Sign up at either Kid Zone desk, then write down every book that is shared with baby.  Write down the number of pages too.  Earn a ticket for every 100 pages you read together.  Exchange the tickets for age-appropriate prizes and books.  There are also two special events just for babies (birth-12 months).  We will have a Come Back, Babies! storytime on Friday, June 21, 2013 at 10 and 11 a.m. and again on Friday, July 26, 2013 at 10 and 11 a.m.  Get ready to giggle with Miss Polly, books, dinosaurs, and co

Lee Bryan is back again this summer! And this time he's Dr. Dinosaur! He'll lead you on an exciting expedition of prehistoric proportions. You'll learn about paleontologists, how they examine the bones and other fossils left behind by dinosaurs. You'll find out about adaptation, flying reptiles, and extinction. You'll even get to witness a Dinosaur Death Match between Tyrannosaurus Rex and Velociraptor. For more information about the show, check out the official That Puppet Guy website. For more information about the subject matter, take a look at the official Teacher Guide. And make sure you stop by the Kid Zone before or after the show to pick up books about dinosaurs. Look for Dewey Decimal number 567.9.

Another reminder about this year's seating guidelines for the Summer Reading Library Theatre shows:
1. Per the fire code, program attendance will be limited to the seats we have in The Library Theatre.
2. All seats will be available on a first come, first served basis.  We do not register for Library Theatre programs to ensure a full house and to allow the largest attendance possible.
3. We have added two new program times, so that each program is repeated seven times.
4. Please limit yourself to one theatre program per week.
5. We will not be able to save seats.  All members of your party must be there in order to be seated together.
6. Each attendee will have a ticket, which will be required for re-entry to the programs.

The Hoover Public Library has embarked on a new partnership program that will not only change the lives of individuals, but also our community. The Dream Team initiative will involve hosting organizations at the library that help fund job training, provide classes in various trades, offer free legal assistance and advise potential and existing entrepreneurs.

You have the opportunity to be part of our Dream Team by simple voting for us in the “Better Together” contest sponsored by tutor.com.

If you’ve been in the library recently, you know it’s been bustling with summertime activities, especially over in the Children’s and Teens’ departments; but, did you know we have lots of great programs for adults, too?  This week is packed with fun and free programs for YOU:

If you're hunting for zombies, you have a few options.  You can tune in to The Walking Dead on your television.  You can read one of the books featured on our October 26th Brains!!!! blog post.  Starting Friday, June 21, 2013, you can also catch World War Z at the movie theater.  All of these options are good, but the next option is even better.  The Teen Spot is hosting a Zombie Ball on Tuesday, June 18, 2013 at 6:30 p.m.  Teens in grades 7-12 are invited to come in their best zombie wear (formal attire encouraged) for a night of bloody fun.  Update your look with a zombie makeup artist.  Get your groove on with the Thriller dance game on the Wii.  Make some zombie guts, or just throw some body parts around.  And, if you still manage to have an appetite among the gore, chow down on some snacks.  No RSVP needed.  Just shuffle, lurch, and moan your way to the Program Room.
