It was a busy June here in the children's department and it looks to be an even busier July! Besides storytimes for the little ones and activity clubs for the school age children we had our 39th annual Pet Show. Here are some pictures from the Pet Show.

And as you know, we can't get enough of our animals here at the Pleasant Hills Library! So on Tuesday, June 29th we invited Kathy, Ashley and Demi from the National Aviary to come visit us! Boy did they bring in the crowd! Ok, it was actually Demi, the penguin, who was getting all the attention, but we couldn't have done it without Kathy and Ashley! Thanks, guys!

We had a blast at the SRC Kick-Off Party despite the grey clouds hanging overhead. I guess it was very fitting since the summer reading club theme this year is "Make A Splash"! I think it is a sign that we are off to a great start...that and the fact that over 100 people turned up for the event! Here are some pictures of the fun that we had.
