Book Lists

Because this year's theme is aquatic in nature I have complied Book Lists on a variety of water related and nautical topics. They range from variety of sea creatures to pirates, boats, water conservation, and pond life. Check out all the wonderful books the Tucker Free Library has to offer this summer! You can find the Book Lists at the tab at the top of the blog titled "Make a Splash" Summer Reading Lists. The lists are organized by subject.

Treasure Island

Check out our newest event for the summer reading program. We are offering a performance of "Treasure Island" on Tuesday, July 13th at 2:00. We hope to see you all there!

WELCOME

Welcome to the official Tucker Free Library Summer Reading Blog! We're really looking forward to the upcoming summer reading season and in preparation we established this blog as a means of providing information and updates. Below you will find information about programs and events we will be offering, and we plan to use this blog to provide a weekly tally of books read.

This year's theme is "Make a Splash: Read!" so look for all kinds of water and nautical themed programs, parties and events. This year the summer reading program will run from Tuesday, June 22nd through Friday, July 23rd.

If you have any suggestions, please feel free to contact me at marthamack@tuckerfreelibrary.org or stop by.

Summer Reading Programs

We already have several programs scheduled for our 2010 Summer Reading Program, all with a distinctly nautical feel, in keeping with the summer reading theme ("Make a Splash: Read!")

Below you will find information about the programs and they will be added to our Summer Reading Calendar on the blog home page.


If you have any questions about programs, please email marthamack@tuckerfreelibrary.org or stop by.

Lobsters

On Thursday, July 1st at 1 pm we have a program sponsored by the University of New Hampshire Marine Docents on lobsters. In this dynamic program we will discover the life-cycles of lobsters, and the process of hatching lobsters. There will be lobsters at the library to touch and feel, and you will also learn how lobstermen measure and band lobsters for market. This program will be followed by a "lobster hat" craft activity.

Rocky Shore

The UNH Marine Docents will be returning to the library on Thursday, July 8th at 1pm for a program about marine animals who live on New Hampshire's coast. This program will provide an overview of the New England coast and all the creatures who call it home. You will have the opportunity to touch real life sea stars, green crabs, and sea urchins. The program will be followed by an interactive fish painting art activity (where you get to paint pictures using FISH). The Rocky Shore program runs approximately an hour and a half.

Let's Go Fishing

On Thursday, July 15th at 2 pm we will be offering the program "Let's Go Fishing" with help from the New Hampshire Fish and Wildlife Department. The two-hour long program will provide an overview on fish identification, basic equipment, casting, and fishing safety.

Everyone, from fledgling fishers to more those with more practice, is invited, however we will cap the class at 20, so we recommend registering early.
