Craig Newton at PPL

Good end of the Summer Reading Program young Pomonans! Thank you to all who came to our program today. You all are really good sports. The library was so hot that it was better to be outside under the shade tree where there was a breeze.

As always, Craig entertained and educated us on all his musical instruments. He truly is a one man band!

That's it. It's all over. This summer went faster than anything that I can remember. We are still here for you so please come in for books to read for fun and maybe to get ready for school as well.

Joke of the day: What makes music on your head?
Answer: A head band! ;)

Come to the End of the Summer Reading Program Party With Craig Newton!

Hello young Pomonans! These are pictures of Craig Newton when he was here two years ago. He will be giving us a show tomorrow afternoon (Aug. 18th) at 3:30pm. We will be outside again under some trees near the courthouse. We still don't have air conditioning (sigh) so it really is cooler outside under the shade trees.

Craig does a great show. He plays many, many instruments and talks about where they come from. It is a lively show and he chooses kids in the audience to help him play the tamborine, kazoos, etc. So come on out for a stompin' good time!

Joke of the day: What is the most musical bone?
Answer: The trom-bone! ;)

Craig Newton, Musician!

What a great time we had with Craig Newton! We love having Craig here because he is so good at what he does. It would be easier telling you which instrument he DOESN'T play than what he can play! He was also fun by involving the children with clapping rhythms. After showing them several rhythms, he said now clap your hands as fast as you can. When they did he said, "Thank you, thank you!" :)

He did many bug songs. The familiar was "There Ain't No Bugs on Me" and "The Ants Go Marching". He did several others and he told me after the show that he had written them especially for the "bug theme." What a talented guy! If you missed the show, don't worry. We will definitly have Craig back.

The other news is that the Reader's Theater began their reheasals this week. What a great group we have and most of all we are having fun. Our show will be August 6th so please plan on coming to support your peers.

All in all, we are having a fabulous summer. Our attendance at EVERYTHING is surpassing anything we have done before. So keep coming in and having as much fun as we are. You all are wonderful!

Joke for the day: Knock-knock.

Zounds who?
Zounds like the last knock-knock joke! :)
