Good Monday, young Pomonans! Yes, it is still quite warm here at PPL. If you come in, please be sure to wear comfortable clothes as it is quite warm in here.

The Reading Buddies are going strong on Mondays and Tuesdays. Not many of you are sticking around much after that and I don't blame you. It may not be fixed for a while but believe me, I will post when it is cool again.

Remember this coming Wednesday is our comedian magician, Abbit the Average. It will be at 3:30pm outside under a shade tree. Remember to bring a blanket or something to sit on that will make you more comfortable.

Hang in there with us!!

Joke of the day: Why did the robber wear blue gloves?
Answer: Because he didn't want to be caught red handed! ;)

Happy Saint Patrick's Day from our friend Abbit the Average!

Happy green day, young Pomonans! Our friend, Abbit the Average, is one of my favorite children's entertainers. We have him most every year and no one ever tires of his sense of humor or the fun he has with children.

I am fortunate to be on his e-mail list and look forward to holidays when he sends out his fun holiday cheer. Here is his St. Patrick's day good cheer:

Advice for the day: Don't iron your shamrocks or you'll be pressing your luck.

Joke of the day: Why do so many people live in Ireland?
Answer: Because the capital is always Dublin. ;)

Thank you Jeff Abbit, our own Abbit the Average for always sending humor into our lives!

Our Magical Time With Abbit the Average!

What a great time we had last Wednesday with our good friend Abbit the Average. If you have seen his show you know that he is anything but average! He is a talented magician, comedian and a heck of a nice guy. He is very good with children and has everyone laughing through the whole show. He really is my favorite children's entertainer and there are some really terrific entertainers out there. In order to book him for the summer, I try to book him by December seven months earlier! I like to watch the children watch his show. I never tire of watching the outright belly laughs coming from them!

Tomorrow we have Wild Wonders for our show. They will bring animals to show you and they just might let you touch some of them. Remember that our show time is 3:30pm.

SEE YOU HERE!!!!

Joke of the day: What kind of wave attacks bookstores?
Answer: A title wave. :)

Summer Reading Program Party 2008

We had soooo much fun at our end of the Summer Reading Program Party! Our good friend Abbit the Average came and entertained us very well. He always gets belly laughs from the kids and I never get tired of that! (He gets belly laughs from the staff as well!) He is one of our most favorite entertainers and no matter how often we see him we enjoy him more and more.

We owe a big gratitude to the Friends of the Pomona Public Library for funding our programs. They are so very generous to us. One of the pictures here represents a small fraction of them. Thank you Friends!

Please keep coming into the library. Even though our program is over we are still here for you. Plus we miss seeing you when you don't come in. :)

Joke of the day: Who can write a children's book and give a great massage at the same time?
Answer: Dr. Masseuse. :)

Tomorrow is the last day you all can turn in reading hours. This summer has gone by sooooo fast! It's been our best year to date with our final numbers at 1,023. We haven't been through all of the cards yet, so that number could go up or down. I will post the final numbers next week.

Remember that our party this year will be Wednesday August 13th at 10:00am. We will be holding the party outside next to the county courthouse. Our magician is our friend Jeff Abbit known as Abbit the Average. He is a great entertainer and I know everyone will enjoy it.

See you on Wednesday!
