Recipe for Summer Fun

Look for our summer reading program to begin registration here at the library on Monday, June 2. We are cooking up lots of fun this summer with the return of x-box afternoons and the annual scavenger hunt.

As always, programs and registration is free. This year though we are taking optional donations of canned food and other items needed at the Second Harvest Food Bank.

We are also taking part in the Great American Bake Sale that supports children's nutrition programs around the United States.

Guitar Hero


Amherst schools closed early on Tuesday but the the School of Rock was standing room only as kids piled into the Amherst Public Library to take advantage of the time off. One large screen featured Guitar Hero III with stereo speakers cranked up while a regular tv touted the original game. The impromtu rockfest lasted about four hours with more than forty kids trying their skill. Add to that 8 quarts of lemonade, a bag of suckers, a giant bag of cheese doodles and three boxes of microwave popcorn and I think you could say it was a pretty good time. When's the next day school is out early?

Graphic Tidings of Gladness

Merry Christmas to all those who frequent the shelves in our graphic novel section here at the Amherst Public Library. Tired of housing our growing collection on left over shelving and commandeered carts we purchased some brand new shelving that sets a new standard for the new year.
Check out our growing list of manga, anime, and graphic novels. Don't have what you're looking for? Email me with suggestions.
