Museum Ice Cream Social August 11

The Sugar Creek Historical Society will host its annual Ice Cream Social on the back lawn of

the Thorntown Heritage Museum on Saturday, August 11 at 6:00 p.m. Ice cream and home-

made desserts will be available for a donation,

and the Thorntown Bluegrass Jammers will pro-

vide the evening’s entertainment. Bring your own

lawn chairs or blankets! Donations received during

this event will help fund museum programs and

maintenance. In the event of inclement weather,

the Ice Cream Social will be held at the Christian

Church.

We hope to see you at this fun and FREE family-

friendly event!

The library will be closed on Monday, September 3 in observance of Labor Day.

Tai Chi for Beginners

Learn Tai Chi in 2018! Certified instructor

Larry Truitt will lead two free 6-week classes

beginning in August. Morning sessions will

meet on most Mondays at 10:15-11:15; even-

ing sessions will meet most Thursdays from

6-7:00. Tai Chi focuses on balance, posture,

and breathing, and students will learn indi-

vidual movements that will be put together

into one complete form. Students are re-

quired to register and sign a waiver form.

Visit the library to sign up!

Taste of Home

Although the library will be closed for Labor

Day, the Taste of Home Sampler will meet on

Monday, September 3 in the library’s room

116. Cooks are invited to submit a recipe of

their choosing, then prepare a dish to bring to

the library to share. Bring table service;

drinks will be provided. This is a great way

to make one dish and sample many! Recipes

can be old favorites or new recipes found in a

magazine, cookbook, or online. Call the li-

brary to register.

Gaming Group

Those who would like to try out some board

games are welcome to join our adult gaming

group! Open to those 14 and older, the

group meets once a month to play table top

games. We’ll meet in the library’s Guinn

room on Tuesday, August 28; game play will

begin at 6 p.m. Library staff will attend to

teach, learn, and play the game(s) with the

group.

August Discussion - Books by Billy Graham

Those who wish to participate in the August book discussion meeting are invited to choose a

book from among the many authored by Billy Graham. Graham wrote over 30 books during

his nearly century-long life; many are available at the library or through Evergreen. Titles

available in the library collection have been displayed across from the adult circulation desk.

Select a book that appeals to you and join the group for a discussion about Billy Graham’s life

and writings.

Book discussion will meet on Monday, August 13 at 1:30 p.m. in the library’s young adult

room; meetings usually last an hour. Light refreshments will be available.

August Writers’ Group

The Thorntown Writers’ Group meets on the

third Tuesday of each month in library meet-

ing rooms. Writers of all ages, interests, and

experience levels are invited to join the

group for discussion and friendly critique.

The group will next meet on Tuesday, Au-

gust 21 at 6:30. Writers may share up to two

pages on any subject. No registration is nec-

essary; light refreshments will be available.

Hope to see you there!

Something. . . Different

Baby Teeth, the debut novel by Zoje Stage, is one of Amazon’s July 2018 “Best Books of the

Month” and has been declared “unnerving and unputdownable” by Lisa Scottoline. Suzette is

a devoted stay-at-home mom struggling with her seven-year-old daughter. Hanna shows her

father Alex nothing but love, while scheming to irritate and manipulate her mother. Bright,

capable, and yet refusing to speak, Hanna can be the perfect Daddy’s Little Girl - but only

when Daddy’s looking. Suzette is slowly losing her mind. Is her daughter possessed or mere-

ly acting out? Check out this intense psychological thriller that’s been called “cunning, sharp,

nasty, and wickedly funny.” It’s currently on the new books shelf, and later can be found at

FIC STA.

Youth Programs Begin August 28

After enjoying a few minutes of rest following summer reading, Miss Kathy and Miss Barb got

right to work planning fall storytimes and programs! Toddler & Preschool Storytime (10:30)

and Adventure Storytime (3:30) will occur on Tuesdays beginning August 28. LEGO Club is

back and will meet at 3:30 on Thursday, August 30.

September’s youth program lineup includes Maker Action Center, Kids’ Bingo, and *new* Mi-

nute to Win It! We’ll have themed storytimes on Tuesdays throughout the month. Kids and

their friends, family, and caregivers can also look forward to another Family Game Night in

September. Look for details in next month’s newsletter!
