We’re Back!
Sorry for the long delay between posts – summer was busy and I guess we just needed a while to recoup.
Everyone has been asking for them and here they are – the pictures from our Halloween Story-time. All the kids looked great in their costumes! I know they had a good time trick or treating throughout City Hall and over at the police station. The staff really enjoyed handing out the goodies and seeing all the kids. It was a fun day! 
Enjoy the pictures. http://www.flickr.com/photos/hewittlibrary/
MP3 Giveaway at the Library!
The Friends of the Hewitt Public Library are sponsoring an MP3 giveaway at the library. All library patrons are invited to stop by and enter. The drawing will be held at the first Friends membership meeting on Oct. 8th at 7 p.m. You don’t have to be present to win but if you are interested in learning more about this new non-profit formed to support the library the meeting is a great way to do that. Refreshments will be served after the meeting and sign-ups for memberships will available.
The Friends group thought a great way to highlight the library’s digital downloadable audio book service would be to give away an MP3 – we couldn’t agree more! Audio books can be downloaded to your computer at home and listened to there or transfered to a portable listening device. It is so easy and fun! Stop by the library to get information on how to set up your account.

More Summer Fun!
On July 18th we had another fun summer program show. Ms. Maria came and delighted the crowd with her fun songs that taught us some Spanish. Most of the crowd was able to participate in the show and all ages had a great time! Take a look at some pictures from the show. http://www.flickr.com/photos/hewittlibrary/
A wild time was had by all at the Library
I am sorry I have been missing in action for the last couple weeks – I was sick in bed with a summer virus – no fun! I am a little behind on posting our photos from the summer program – I promise to get them all up as soon as possible.
On July 11th the Cameron Park Zoo brought some creatures for us to learn about. Everyone had a great time and had an opportunity to touch some animals and see them up close after the show. We always have fun when the zoo visits the library. http://www.flickr.com/photos/hewittlibrary/
Tract the Clown thrills library crowd
On June 27th, Tract the Clown came to the Hewitt Community Center to entertain our huge crowd – a little bigger group than was expected! There was some confusion on our part as to how the show was to be done and so we would like to thank David Gish (a.k.a Tract the Clown) for staying late and making balloon figures until his fingers had to be cramping and also thank our audience for being so patient. Everyone ended up having a great time! Take a look http://www.flickr.com/photos/hewittlibrary/
Snakes, and spiders, and roaches – Oh my!
Everyone enjoyed a good gross-out on June 20th when The Bug Man, Jim Klinger, brought a van full of creatures to share with the huge crowd gathered at the Hewitt Community Center. As always, his show was informative and fun. Take a look at some of the pictures we took that day - http://www.flickr.com/photos/hewittlibrary/
Don’t forget that the library will be closed tomorrow so
there will be no performance. Next Wednesday, July 11th @ 10:30 a.m. the Cameron Park Zoo will be visiting us with some fun critters. Come join us – we will have a great time!
Have a happy and safe 4th of July!
We have a winner!
Michelle Cocek, age 5, was our Skittles winner for June. With her grandmother’s help she guessed within 10 of the actual number of Skittles in the container. Congratulations!
We have a new container for the July drawing. Come by and give it a guess. Remember every time you check out books you have a chance to enter. Good Luck!
Magic at the Library
Our first summer performance started on June 13th @ 10:30 a.m. The Magic Man wowed the crowd. Several attendants got to participate in the show! We also got to meet the Magic Man’s new friend – Kiwi the parrot – he especially took to Donna! See all the fun http://www.flickr.com/photos/hewittlibrary/
Summer Fun has begun!
It may be hot outside but it is cool and comfy in the library! Don’t miss out on the fun – stop by today to get signed up for the reading club. All ages are welcome. Adults have a chance to win a free cleaning from Merry Maids or a dinner at McAlister’s Deli – get your punch card and start reading. Children have already been turning in their logs and collected some fun gift certificates from area businesses. With each log turned in kids names are entered in the drawing for a big prize at the end of the summer – what’s the big prize you might ask – stay tuned to find out!
Happy Birthday JDD!
Last Storytime Pictures
Everyone has been anxious to see the pictures from our last storytime – sorry it took us awhile to figure out the best way to share them. Bubbles galore – a good time was had by all! http://www.flickr.com/photos/8485551@N04/
