We have en joyed having so many young peo ple reading so many books during the summer. We have been blessed with marvelous community sup port. - Mrs. Laurie McEachem enter tained the children on July 9, with interesting stories and facts concerning Hoke County and Raeford. She brought with her various items that had been in her possession for a number of years and allowed each child to have an opportunity to handle each item. We certainly appreciate Mrs. McEachern giving the library and the children her time and knowledge. On July 16, the children created collages depicting special places and special events that are in teresting to North Carolina residents. The collages are on display in the foyer of the Library. The older group did a quilt. Each child was given a quilt square to color. Betsy McNeill and Betty Barnhart sewed the squares together and formed a most attractive quilt. It is on display in the periodical section of the library. We arc proud of the work of each child. On July 23, Olive Jenkins, Harpest, and Yvonne Snead, local craftswoman, demonstrated their crafts to the children and explained exactly what was involved in becoming proficient in their art. Each child had a chance to play the harp and paint a portion of a ceramic item. It was a hands-on ex perience for the young readers. We thank Olive and Yvonne for being with us. July 30, was the last meeting of the Summer Reading Program. The children were entertained by Miriam McNeill, music instructor for the Hoke County School System and Lindy Howard, guitarist. The children learned some songs that are favorite North Carolina tunes and some new ones. We thank Miriam and Lindy. We enjoyed listening to them. The movie Friday night is THE GOLD BUG which is based on the short story by Edgar Allan Poe. It is about a young boy on a sup posedly deserted island who finds a gold bug and a piece of paper con taining a secret code. He en counters a crazed old man and his towering mute servant who are searching for Captain Kidd's buried treasure. The movie wiH begin at 7 and will. last 30 minutes. Please come.
