It is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast.
Ephesians 2:8

Summer Library Activities-July

A local Author, Lisa Brodie Cook, released a new book this month
Peanut Butter and Homework Sandwiches 

A few of her other books

Lisa teaches Second Grade here in Boone. I also had the privilege of working with Lisa as her Teacher's Aid when she taught Kindergarten a few years ago. Our Library hosted a book signing where Lisa read her book and then the children were able to make a craft. They had her book for sale and afterward she signed them for us! 

Story Time
Craft
With Harriett!
They did a drawing and Lauren won a book!
Getting their books signed


The girls finished up the reading program at the Boone Library! Their prizes included: a tropical snow coupon, free book from the Book Shoppe in Boone and a holographic ruler, Dutch Oven Bakery coupon, and a free pass to the Blank Park Zoo!

Picking up their last prize

They are still doing the Ames Public Library reading program which goes through August 31. The prizes they have earned so far include:
Journey 1-choice of a prize or sticker
Journey 2-Coupon for a cookie from Subway
Journey 3- Coupon for Ice Cream from Cold Stone
Journey 4- Free Book
Journey 5: Free Pass to the Ames Ice Arena or 
 a Pool Party at the Furman Aquatic Center

They also get a special prize for visiting the Bookmobile!

Once they have completed all the journeys they can continue to read "Around the World" to earn more entries into the bonus prize drawings. I love that this program continues on through the rest of the summer keeping them reading!

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them- yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 1 Corinthians 15:10
