Animal Tales programs introduce young children to nature through a featured children's book and fun crafts centered around the theme. These programs are for preschoolers.

The build.guild is a maker program for grades 6-12. Over the course of 6 weeks we will make projects involving various technology, including circuits, LED lights, and computers, to take home. It is not necessary to attend every week, but we'd love to have you each time!

DUE TO EQUIPMENT AVAILABILITY WE

ONLY HAVE SPACE FOR 8 ATTENDEES. YOU MUST REGISTER

FOR EACH SESSION.

FIRST SESSION’S PROJECT IS A DOODLE BUG 360 DRAWING ROBOT!

Children in grades K - 5 are invited to

come in and enjoy LEGO® time each

week. Create a cas-

tle, car, or whatever

you can imagine.

LEGOS...the build-

ing blocks of a

child's imagination.

Skin by Taylor Cheri Anderson If I showed you my skin Would you look away Divert your eyes And say “Not today” Or would you step closer Would you study me slowly All my bruises and bumps And admire me fully Would you trace me in kisses All in a line And murmur your secrets As you glide down my spine Would you count all my fingers My toes and my freckles Would you want me still When you reach my ankles And when you see goosebumps Created from you Would you read them like braille And show me yours too Would you whisper to me That you love what you see That you love who I am And who I’m yet to be If I show you my skin Feel precious Feel special If I show you my Skin I’m already yours To have And to treasure Leather Journal by Kari Ann Peiscop-Grau Crisp new papers of a leather bound journal Full of hope and wonder Flowing out of its endless possibilities It gives all that I have written to be removed and cleansed From my troubled mind to something wonderful in time My new journey has begun in this earth bound journal These words have not been created by unknown thoughts Or empty smiles that have the meaning of none This may be words to some But those who comprehend the bleeding ink Have the key to see the thoughts I could never speak In this gray and somber world The only thing that changes this to gold Are the words on my leather bound journal 18 AND OVER DIVISION

The Man I Once Was by Charles J. Shepherd As mold claims the home once mine, Did evil thoughts once grasp my mind, Thoughts lingered, and manifest in action, That desecrated my character, Halved and quartered, made to a fraction, Of the man I once was. A new season on earth, has inspired a change, A renewal of man, once might find strange, Where anger once dwelled, there is now peace, Selfishness once staked where care now breathes, My life isn’t yet different, but my perspective is, It is not true sacrifice, unless for a God that lives, He does not steal or pleasure, he rights our senses, He shows us just boundaries, and helps set the fences, Yes, I am the flesh that did those deeds, But, the actions of the man I once was, are no longer me. Life by Debbie Deckard Youth A panacea for all Buy it, sell it covet it, pray for it Handwritings on the wall Middle-age A harbinger come to call Fear it, avoid it cover it, shape it The time before the fall Old-age The unavoidable law Savor it, hold it Accept it, embrace it The destiny for all. Transition: Time Will Tell by Jan Jonker “Some things are worse than death.” My Grandmother said as she was dying. Only I hear her words And alone I shuddered by her bedside But I was too young to question her thoughts. Years passed quickly and later Her son, my father, smiled inside And comforted us with his wisdom. His shaking could not be stopped Even with all the medicines. I listened to him speak Always kindly to my mother, his caretaker, But I heard my Grandmother’s voice. I don’t know where I parked. People look beyond me As if I don’t exist. My daughter tells me I make things up. Did I tell you this before? My bones ache And I long to sleep. I look in the mirror. I see my Grandmother. I remember her conversations From long ago As if they had just been spoken. “Some things are worse than death”. My Grandmother said as she was dying.

The Danville Public Library is pleased to announce the winners of the 2014 Melba Geoffroy Memorial Poetry Contest. 12 AND UNDER DIVISION 1st Killer by Hallie Jackson 2nd School Lunch by Nina Fallon 3rd Gray by Toby Kult 13-18 DIVISION 1st Monsoon by Alida Jackson 2nd Leather Journal by Kari Ann Peiscop-Grau 3rd Skin by Taylor Cheri Anderson 18 AND OVER DIVISION 1st The Man I Once Was by Charles J, Shepherd 2nd Life by Debbie Deckard 3rd Transition: Time Will Tell by Jan Jonker 12 AND UNDER DIVISION Killer by Hallie Jackson Eyes wide, whiskers quivering, heart racing, Is there even the question of escaping? A small brown mouse darts across the floor, Frantic, he searches for a door, Too late! The midnight colored cat glides in, searching for the mouse, He knew he heard a mouse in his house, With tufted ears, keen eyes, curved claws, and monstrous fangs, He searches for a tasty morsel to ease his hunger pangs, The mouse shivered in fright, and gave himself away, The cat’s sharp eyes spotted his succulent prey, A swift pounce, a muffled shriek, a gulp, and a cruel hiss, Gone was the mouse no one would miss, But that puny mouse wasn’t nearly enough, The cat gave a dissatisfied snuff, He hid behind a big winding pillar, No one escapes the experienced killer.

School lunch by Nina Fallon One day I forgot my lunch so I just bought instead I went to read the menu and this is what it said, candy snails and lizard tails with green slime on bread. “Yum!” said everyone (but I thought yuck instead) I thought I’ll try tomorrow instead and went to see what the menu said it was no surprise more like facts it was roasted bugs and a monkey’s ear wax!! This is the last time I will forget my lunch from home! Gray by Toby Kult Gray looks like the cloudy skies on a rainy day Gray sounds like raindrops sliding down a window Gray tastes like oatmeal, plain and bland Gray feels like an itchy sweater just opened from the box Gray feels like being sick on a miserable rainy day Gray sounds scary, like whispers forming from dark corners of the walls Gray feels cold, like chills running down your back Gray tastes awful, like a bowl of mushrooms and dry fish Gray feels tired and boring; a day full of naps an yawns Gray is the feeling of fear, of being alone, of being small Gray is sad, like a howling wind crying on a stormy night Gray is all of the sorrows, hatred, sickness, boredom, and fears all put into a color…. Gray 13 - 18 DIVISION Monsoon by Alida Jackson The dark clouds move overhead, covering the sky. Chipmunks, deer, and squirrels run by. All hiding, hiding from the rain. The sky rips open with a flash of light. The winds howl with all their might. Water pours down on jackets pulled tight. We hide, hide from the rain. The plants reach upward, big and small, as they strain forward to catch it all. The dark green leaves on the leaves do tall all need the rain The dark, squishy mud swirls and trickles, the shiny peppers, tomatoes, and pickles, even the minnows who swim and tickle all love the rain. The grass and ferns have drops that bend their pointed leaves at the end. The water drips on a journey that will never descend. All because of the rain. The smell of damp earth fills the air. The animals are stretching in their lair. The birds start singing without a care. Everything caused by the rain. Light green sprouts shoot up through the ground. Dripping and dropping is the only sound. The plants are refreshed, the ground has new birth. It’s fresh and bright, a brand new earth. Thank you to all of the rain.

Join us this summer as we Dig into Reading with books, crafts and activities.

POTTERY PROGRAM

Create your own dinosaur and volcano this summer at the library! Jeremy South, of Rocky Ripple Clayworks will lead a pottery workshop for ages pre-school through teen. Registra-tion is required. There is a fee of $14.00 per participant which may be paid in ad-vance or at the program.

McCloud Nature Park will present a program for grades K-6 about fos-

sils, including a power point presentation, hands-on fun and a craft to

take home. Registration is required.

This is our monthly TAB meeting. Everyone in grades 6-12 who has an interest in teen materials collection, programs, and activities offered for teens and “tweens” should consider being part of the Teen Advisory Board of the Danville Public Library. We are always looking for new members! All of our meetings are open to everyone in grades 6-12. We do fun activities at most meetings, plan future

programs and activities, develop and refine our teen volunteer program, and participate in community service activities in addition to helping with other programs offered at the Danville Public Library. Members are not expected to attend every meeting or every event. Once on the board, you will receive monthly information from our meetings even if you are not able to attend. It is my hope that we would develop a large enough group to have at least 8-10 (hopefully

more) members at each meeting and 20 (hopefully more) members on the board. Serving on this board looks great on college applications and job applications. Those students who participate regularly in TAB, for 6 months or more, can request personal letters of recommendation from Kris. Please feel free to bring friends with you to meetings.

Being a teen volunteer or serving on this board looks great on college applications and job applications.

June's artist of the month is Charles Robert Thayer. He is a returning artist to the Danville Public Library. Since retiring, he has devoted much time to his hobby of oil painting.

Teens should plan to arrive at 6:00 to sign in and get started on some games.

Checking out library books will not be allowed at this time. We require that parents deliver and pick up their children. Chil-dren will not be allowed to walk home. The program will end at 10:00pm.
