Lots to do at the New Berlin Library this summer
NEW BERLIN – Whether it’s the New Berlin Library’s always popular Summer Reading Program, last month’s Perkins Memorial Concert Series or an upcoming visit by two local authors, there’s always something to do at 15 South Main Street, according to library director Darlene LaBrie.
On Monday, songwriter and guitarist Nan Hoffman took the stage, taking listeners on a journey along the course of history in America through song. Earlier this month, classical guitarist Peter Fletcher performed, both shows sponsored by the Perkins’ family, in memory of Ruso and Jean Perkins.
This month, library patrons will be treated to a pair of presentations by local authors, Lesley Diehl on Aug. 8 and Glenn Nilson on Aug. 22.
Said LaBrie, “We always try to encourage local authors and we always try to have a lot going on at the library.”
A retired psychology professor, Diehl recently released “Poisoned Pairings,” the second volume in her “micro-brewing” series. The protagonist in the story, Hera Knightsbridge, “juggles her concerns over hydraulic fracturing with the death of a student interning in her brewery,” according to publisher press release. On Aug. 8, Diehl will discuss why she’s so fascinated with the murder mystery genre, as well as why she loves her villains and heroines equally.
Author Glenn Nilson, on Aug. 22, will be promoting his new book, “Murder on Route 66,” set in Tucumcari, New Mexico.
As for younger readers, the New Berlin Library’s Summer Reading Program will run through the month of August, reported LaBrie, giving children a chance to do crafts, win prizes and – of course – read.
“Kids participate at their own pace,” said LaBrie. “We have story time at 10 a.m. on Wednesdays and for every five books a child reads, they get to pick a prize.”
Teens and adults can get in on the action, as well, she added. At the end of August, two teen and two adult names will be drawn for a book bag full of great prizes, including “lots of books and gift certificates ... all different kinds of things.”
At 11 a.m. on August 4, the library will host a presentation on the warning and heart attack symptoms for women, all part of a research study that’s currently underway. Those attending will be asked to fill out a short questionnaire, before and after the presentation, and will also be asked to fill out a third questionnaire that will be mailed out two months later. The presentation is expected to last slightly more than an hour.
According to LaBrie, no matter what’s going on at the New Berlin Library, it’s “a great place to cool off and catch up on some reading,” if nothing else. Guest passes are available for those without a library card and those wishing to get online may also do so at the library.
Added LaBrie, “We always have something going on that [people] can come and do.”
The New Berlin Library is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday and Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. The library is closed on Sunday. For more information call 847-8564 or visit libraries.4cls.org/newberlin.
