We've come to the final chapter of May, we're beginning a new chapter in June, and our summer reading fun will begin for readers of all ages in three short weeks on Monday, June 22! In the meantime, we've got plenty of fun, free, engaging events happening at Hagaman, including yet more celebrations of America250; highlights from this week include:

🇺🇸 Teens, not only do you have Drop-In Video Games on Wednesday, but you have an HTAG Meeting in the DeMayo Room (All teen programming is open only to all youths 12 - 18);

🇺🇸 We're welcoming Ken Engelman of Community Volunteers United and Please Be Kind! for a Non-Profit Fundraising 101 Workshop on Wednesday in the DeMayo Room; and

🇺🇸 America250 events include Philosophy Club, President Adams-themed History & Trivia, a Friday afternoon Movie Matinee, and a bonus Cookbook Club meeting on Saturday!

It's always "happening" at Hagaman Library! Next weekend features our usual Friday Crafty Tales Story-Time with Youth Services Librarian Miss Caitlin on Friday, followed by an all ages America250-themed Movie Matinee in the Community Room, where we'll enjoy some fresh popcorn and take in the Disney 1957 classic "Johnny Tremain."

Do you think President Washington liked popcorn, or would it have gotten stuck in his dentures? There's only one way to find out: Join us next Saturday for a special America250-themed bonus meeting of Cookbook Club, where chefs are invited to prepare sample size dishes inspired by some of President George Washington's favorite foods! No RSVP is required for any of these programs.

Teens, with the end of the school year coming up (and graduation for some of you: congratulations!), we're sure you're feeling like very busy bees! Be that as it may, Hagaman Library's Teen Services Department invites you to Hagaman to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life: Teens 12 - 18 are welcome to stay cool and enjoy our events this month, including Wednesday's Drop-In Video Game Sessions, D&D Tabletop Club, and, of course, the beginning of our Summer Reading Games for Teens on Monday, June 22.

All programs are free, open to all youths 12 - 18, and no RSVP is needed. For further information about these events, as well as how to get started with the Teen Summer Reading Games, please contact Emily Kalotai, Teen Services Librarian, at either 203-468-3890 x 107 or [email protected].
