THIS WEEK AT THE LIBRARY

WEDNESDAY

Summer is ebbing faster than the tide, but there is still time to jump in and Make a Splash at The Green Free Library. The last official program will be held on Wednesday, July 28, 2010. PreK will meet in the library for A Whale of a Good Time with Beverly Smith. Grades K-6 will meet in the Gmeiner for An Utterly Otterly Day with Audrey Patterson. As always, the time is 10:15 AM, but come earlier to sign in so you don't disrupt the programs!

SATURDAY

If you like to dress up, and you like to attend tea parties, join The Friends of The Green Free Library on Saturday, July 31, 2010 for Miss Mazie's Party between 2:00-3:30 PM at the Gmeiner.

This year the Friends are inviting you to bring along your favorite American Girl doll to join in the festivities. The Friends have invited their own special guest, Rebecca Rubin, the newest American Girl historical doll. She lived in New York City in 1914. Tickets will be on sale during the party, and at 3:00 PM there will be a drawing for Rebecca, and a second drawing for a gently used white fold away doll bed. Drawing tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5.

LIBRARY CLOSED FOR HOLIDAY

The staff of The Green free Library would like to wish all patrons and visitors a HAPPY and SAFE FOURTH OF JULY.

Independence days, more commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday that commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in which the United States declares independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. It is a holiday unique to the USA, though other countries may have similar holidays celebrated on their own specific dates.

The legal separation of the colonies from Great Britain actually occurred on July 2, 1776. It was on this date during the American Revolution, that the Second Continental Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence. Though Thomas Jefferson is credited with authoring the Declaration of In dependence, the actually resolution was written by Richard Henry Lee, an American Statesman from Virginia. This proposal was known as the Lee Resolution, or the resolution of independence; it was made on June 7, 1776, and was approved on July 2, 1776.

The text of the final document formally announcing the action was approved on July 4, 1776. I t was prepared by Thomas Jefferson, as its principal author, along with John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Robert R. Livingston and Roger Sherman comprising a Committee of Five. This document was the United States Declaration of Independence.

The library is closed on Saturday, July 3 and Monday July 5, 2010, so that the Director and staff members may celebrate and enjoy this time with their family and friends.

Normal operating hours are:

Monday-Thursday 10:00 AM-8:00 PM


Friday & Saturday 10:00 AM-5:00 PM
