Around Town

Looking for something to do this weekend?  Check out the "Friends of the Library" book sale; free and open to the public at the St. Charles Convention Center.  Picture books are 25 cents and there are all sorts of categories of things (adult fiction, cookbooks, DVDs, on and on....) with prices going up to about $2 for a large hardcover book (this is from my memory, so don't quote me). 

If you can't see this picture very well, click here to link to the library page.

Outdoor Movie Night Moves IN

Our movie Friday evening (5/31) is "Rio" and will be INSIDE AT 6:30pm, because of the high chance for storms.  Watch your July calendar for another try at "movie under the stars". 

Visit the Zoo

Starting today the St. Louis Zoo has extended hours through the summer until September 2nd.  They are open Monday through Thursday from 8a-5pm and Friday through Sunday from 8a-7pm.  To further plan your visit click here for their website.

Walk Run Roll

What a weekend!!  Make sure to checkout even more pictures below from the visit to the Glass Factory, posted by Terri W., and a few from this weekend's barbecue too.  Shelley S. was camera woman for the S.A.S. team at this year's Walk Run Roll.

The Copper Coins

Thank you everyone who made a side dish and came out to enjoy the sounds of "The Copper Coins", who joined us all the way from Wisconsin last Saturday.  As I looked out into the canopy full of old and new friends I felt the summer feel-good community spirit among us.

Special Guests Saturday

Join us on campus this Saturday evening (5/18) for a barbecue and live music from 5-7pm.  If you come for dinner please bring a side dish, Emmaus is providing the meat and drinks.

A little bit about the band:  The Copper Coins are a 5-member musical group from Grace UCC in Two Rivers, Wisconsin.   The group plays a variety of genre – Medieval, Celtic, Renaissance, Bluegrass, Americana, and Gospel.  But it’s the variety of instruments they use that is fascinating – lap (mountain) dulcimers, mandolins, tin whistles and flutes, even a washtub bass made from a metal washtub, shovel handle and nylon rope.   They will also be playing in Marthasville on Sunday for the 9:00 am church service and the Spring Festival from Noon to 5:00 pm.

Photo Gallery

Time to play "catch up" on sharing photos with you of some recent fun.  First is a decorative project, made with stencils, pretty paper and some string.  They turned out great so a lot of you took a turn posing with your finished product.
