Calling all Percy Jackson fans! There are only a few spots left for our Percy Jackson Party, tomorrow from 2-3 pm at the library! Ages 8-15 should register in advance; older participants, let me know if you want to volunteer.
Special guests The Royal Arts Fencing Academy will be here for a demonstration and your personal sword fighting lesson! You may come dressed as your favorite Greek god or goddess, Titan or monster (which will surely make for some great pictures 
) There will also be games, crafts, and more! Hope to see you there!
Arts fest this weekend!

This weekend is the Westerville Music and Arts Festival! I’ve gone every year since I’ve worked in Westerville, and it’s always a great time: good music, amazing artwork, and plenty of chances to sit in the sun with a lemonade and (my personal favorite) funnel cake. 
And did you know that some of our local artists have artwork you can check out from the library?! It’s true!
Anyone planning on going? Maybe I’ll see you there!
Movie showing: Dear John

We’re excited to show “Dear John” tomorrow on the big screen @ 3 pm! We’ll have cool A/C and popcorn — you just bring yourself, a friend, and maybe some Kleenex for me, ’cause I hear this is a tearjerker…
Rated PG-13.
Don’t come in on Saturday! You’ll be lonely.

Happy July, everyone! I know I’ve been posting a lot of videos lately, but I couldn’t resist sharing this one, brought to my attention by alert reader novelwriter65. It’s from author John Green’s trip to the American Library Association annual conference (and if you know librarians Marisa and Robin, ask if they got to see him!).
If you <3 John Green, either before or after watching this video, check out some of his books from the library!

Have you heard that the Library has a Chess Workshop coming up? Two, actually! One is coming up on Saturday, May 8, 2-4 p.m., and the next one is Saturday, June 12, 2-4 p.m.
The Chess Workshops are provided by the coaches of the Delaware Youth Chess Clubs, who will be on hand to instruct all skill levels, ages 6 and up. If you’ve ever wanted to learn to play or brush up on your strategy, now’s your chance! Both workshops are FREE; just register online so we know how many to expect.

As always, you can also use the linked form to choose your own hours to help with shelving (and help with special projects if needed). If you choose your own hours, I’ll email you to confirm.
