On Wednesday and Thursday, June 24 and 25, Ms. Huba shared her hard-won expertise with 40 -plus children.' y The cake decorating class was hosted by the Georgetown ° > .- Public Library and open to children ages 9 through 12. The r _ aA, class is one of several tree summer programs in the library's Just for Tweens program. ° On the first day the participants learned how to use the tools for cake decorating. Between licking sticky fingers and laugh- sa' 44``:. ing, most got the hang of squeezing out the right amount of icing. What people may not know, said Ms. Huba to the class, is that squeezing the bag takes a lot of hand strength, which most ` found out later. Individual cakes were passed out on Thursday for the class to decorate and take home. Rosa Garcia, director for children's Amy Solheim and Ariana Maldonado. activities at the library, said the class started out only accept- ing 20 children but ballooned to a class of 50. So far all the summer activities the library has offered have been receiving huge participant turnouts, she said. The sum- mer events for tweens continues in July with jewelry- and mov- ie -making classes. ' Laura Flores & Mow 10 A Leah Wright, Kristin Knight and Elizabeth Dillon.

In 1836,Texans were fighting for their independence from Mexico. In February, a Mexican army led by General Santa Anna marched into San Antonio and surrounded the old walled mission called the Alamo. Inside, there were 189 defenders including Jim Bowie, Davy Crockett, and William Travis. According to Iegend,Travis called the Alamo defenders into a group, drew a line in the dirt with his sword, and announced that all who wished to fight should take one step forward. Bravely knowing their fate was sealed, all but one of the 189 took that step.The Mexican army of thousands greatly outnumbered the Alamo defenders. After a fierce attack that lasted 13 days, the Mexican soldiers killed all of the Alamo defenders.

STATE OF TEXAS OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR A Message from the Governor: Within the walls of a library, we are free to imagine and become captivated by the spirit of adventure that comes only through the joy of reading. Reading expands our minds and inspires curiosity in children and adults alike, opening a world of endless possibilities. Literature has the ability to make us laugh, to induce tears and to provoke thought. This reading club has worked to inspire the imagination and change the outlook of a generation. By encouraging library usage and presenting youth with the excitement and entertainment of reading, the successes of this program will have a lasting effect on our great state. The theme for the 2009 program is "Libraries: Deep in the Heart of Texas! " It will help all involved embrace their Texan heritage by displaying Texas - themed programs and artwork while also giving young Texans the skills to achieve prosperity. I encourage all those who are participating to embrace the challenges ahead. Reading is the tool that paves the path to success and, it is said, readers are leaders. To all those who make this program possible, I salute you. Your dedication and commitment to Texas' youth will have long-lasting impacts. You are shaping the youth of today and the Texas of tomorrow.

The Telephone Company and Chicken Dog Productions provided enter- tainment for the kids, while pony and train rides, face painting, snow cones and food rounded out the fun. The library hopes the party will spark more interest in the library's summer programs as well as get kids excited about reading. "There's a lot of fun stuff coming up this summer at the library," coordinator Rosa Garcia said. Check out the library's calendar of events to learn where and when you can be a part of it. — Mary Beth Pinnell Emily, mom Lorie and Shelby Linkford wait in line with Candace and Pat Luong for face oaintina.

Our librarians took books, CDs and DVDs from the donated materials that would have cost us approximately $3,000 to purchase. Income from the sale this year was down somewhat, and was probably due to a major obstacle that the committee struggled with for a ^�unber of months—finding a place to store and sort the books that were Construction Update The concrete on both the first and second floors has been poured and interior walls are beginning to take shape. Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough -ins are underway throughout the building. Construction of the exterior walls will take place throughout July. Fiber optic and street lighting wires have been installed in trenches all around the building. (Putting the utilities underground in this block is a good start on the gradual process of putting all of the downtown utilities underground, a project that will make our lovely downtown even prettier.) Our Good Friends Once a year I like to highlight the good works of the Friends of the Library. Last month they had their annual book sale—their major fund- raising event—which grossed nearly $14,000. After expenses are paid, all of that money is ear -marked for library needs. Actually, the library benefited handsomely even before the sale took donated. For the past two years the Friends had been able to use, it no cost, a City -owned industrial d1ding on 81" Street. However, the ty sold the property last summer and the new owners were unwilling to donate the space to the Friends. Warehouse space in Georgetown is an expensive proposition, the book sale committee soon learned, so they engaged a building for the shortest possible time. A shorter collection period meant fewer books to sell. The Friends' book sale probably will be done differently in the future. Our new library, which is scheduled for completion in December 2006, will have meeting rooms large enough to be used for book sales, so it may be that there will be smaller sales, several times a year. Other options also are being discussed, but it seems clear that the annual book sale probably won't happen again. It's been a remarkable fund-raiser for the Friends but ifs time for some changes to be made. The book sale is hard work and requires hundreds of volunteer hours to produce. It pays off extremely well, though, in the help that the Friends are able to give the library. Since last year's book sale they have donated $20,000 to the library. Among their largest contributions were $8,150 for the 2005 and 2006 children's and teen's summer reading programs; $7,000 for a half-time library intern; and $3,000 to keep the public laptop computers running for about six months longer, until we were able to install the new public access system last November. None of these is something on which we can put a "donated by" plaque. Our Friends help us with operating costs that our City budget doesn't cover. Dixie's Quick Picks Dixie recommends two books by Elizabeth Crook, who writes historical fiction about Texas and the Southwest. Promised Lands: A Novel of the Texas Rebellion (F CROO), is Crook's second novel, which came out in 1993. It is about an American family and a Mexican family whose paths intertwine during the Texas Rebellion of 1836. Crook's knowledge of the period is evident in the physical and psychological details she incorporates into her story. This is a realistic book— portraying the horrors of war—and has no happy endings. Crook's 2006 novel, The Night Journal (F CROO, on the new books shelf), is not a sequel to Promised Lands. Although the book is set in the present, its action turns on the journals of Hannah Bass, which were written from 1891 to 1902 when she lived on the frontier of New Mexico. Hannah's daughter, Claudia Bass, spent her career as an historian promoting the journals, but Meg, the granddaughter of Claudia and the main character of the novel, resisted reading her progenitor's work until a discovery at the burial site of Hannah's dogs calls into question the veracity of her domineering grandmother's work. Meg learns difficult truths about herself and her family as she and an archaeologist, with whom she becomes romantically involved, investigate the journals. Crook's work has been compared to that of Anita Shreve and Carol Shields.

This year we'll be closed an extra two days because we'll also be doing some major heavy -lifting that is related to changes that we're making in the way that fiction books are cataloged and shelved. As you know, we presently shelve mysteries, science fiction, and westerns (librarians call these "genres") separately from the regular fiction. Before we move to the new library we want to move all of the genres into the regular fiction collection. You may have noticed that our new fiction books have different colored spine labels (that little label at the bottom of the spine of the book that tells us where the book belongs on the shelf). In preparation for integrating the genres into fiction, the cataloging librarians have begun making the bibliographic records and spine labels of all fiction genres simply "fiction" (the spine label will simply have an "F" instead of "M" or "W" or "SF"). The colors on the spine labels indicate whether the book is a mystery (yellow), a western (green), or science fiction (red or blue). When the catalogers have time they also are beginning to convert all of the old mysteries, westerns, and sci ft books to this new system. During the inventory, all of the genres will be interfiled with regular fiction, whether or not their spine labels and cataloging have been changed. After inventory, the catalogers will continue to work to get the catalog entries and spine labels changed before we move to the new building. For the staff this change means having to move thousands of books, but what does it mean for our patrons? Instead of having to know where the particular Louis Lamour book you're looking for is shelved — because he writes westerns, mysteries, and plain fiction — you'll only have to go to the "LAMO" section in fiction and you'll find all of his books. Yes, we know that many of you only read one genre and that you like being able to go to, say, the mystery section to find your next whodunnit without having to waste any time browsing through books in which you have no interest. When the transformation is complete and the books are all filed together, you'll still be able to find your favorite genre by the distinctively colored spine labels. And moybe, just maybe, you'll find that some of your favorite authors had books that you didn't know about because they were shelved with a different genre. The change will benefit our shelvers because they'll no longer have to watch for the various genre codes. And it will be less likely that books will become "lost' through mis- shelving because all of fiction will be together. By far, the greatest downside to this change is the physical act of doing it. It has made the workload of the catalogers and book processors immense and everyone on the staff will suffer when all of the fiction and genre books will have to be removed I News Review Volume 10 No. 7 July 2006 from the shelves and then reshelved as one big collection.

SARA: Pillowman is a character I created. It's just something I came up with to keep myself enter- tained while I was on the road. He's a combination of Charles Kuralt and Charlie Brown. He's wise, laid back, and lumpy. D: Do you think this is a byproduct of motherhood? SARA: No. Pillowman is about 9 years old. I was like this before I had kids. D: What else are you working on right now? SARA: My husband Lance and I have a design firm called Stingray. We design CD covers for other Texas artists such as Tish Hinojosa, Ian Moore, and Christine Albert. I am also working on a Nancy Griffin tribute album alongside Bruce Springsteen and Emmy Lou Harris. I will start to work on my "big people" CD this summer. D: "Big people" CD? SARA: Well, I feel that I need to differentiate between my music for children and my music for adults. I don't want to call it my adult music. That makes it sound X-rated or something. So I just call it my "big people" music. D: It sounds like you're pretty busy.

To spur the kids on, the --Georgetown Public Library hosted the kickoff party for its annual sum- mer .reading program, called "Mission Impossible: Spy a Book." About 350 children attended the party Wednesday at Chatauqua Park. - The gathering included a magic show with Kent Cummins, music with Mr. Johnny & Friends, clowns, balloons, a moonwalk and free hot dogs and cake. Library Director Eric Lashley rilled the dogs. . Children will be challenged to ead. a 'certain number of books, depending on their reading level. At the end of the summer, they also will have a chance to win prizes: two $100 savings bonds from First Texas Bank, one $100 savings bond from the Friends of the Georgetown Library and a bicycle donated by Wal-Mart. Also, all summer long, there will be events nearly every day of the week., `.'We just do fun stuff in the library so the kids can read and have fun at the same time, said Rosa Garcia, children services coordina- tor at the library. "With all of the neat events, they think they are having fun while reading. I get them in the library and then I make sure that they leave with books to read," Ms. Garcia said. . On Wednesday, Ms. Garcia wel- comed many repeat summer read- ers. Lisa Campbell and her three chil- dren have participated in the sum- mer reading program the last four years., "The program is wonderful so we always come to the kickoff," said Ms. Campbell. "The schedule of events for the summer is really amazing." Ms. Campbell's oldest daughter, Taylor, 8, will commit to reading a minimum amount of books by sign- ing the reading form. Children set their own reading goals and keep records of the books they read during the summer. "Public libraries all over Texas do this every summer to encourage reading after the school year is over, and to keep (children] reading on level. Things like, this make it fun 106. { Sun/Rebecca Robbins JOHNNY AND SHARON WILLIAMS, above, children's performers with Mr. Johnny and Friends, entertained the kids with a sing -along of favorites like "Old McDonald" and "Deep in the Jungle" at Chatauqua Park.

Our summer read- ing program has a good reputation in Georgetown and families that have participated in it in the past want to be sure they don't miss a siggle event. The program's good reputation is the result of hard work, a philoso- phy of service to the community, and cooperation from library sup- porters. Our children's services cobrdinator, Rosa Garcia, spends seven to eight months planning each summer program. She wants to encourage the children to read and to • provide other reasons for chil- dren to look forward to coming to the library. The bottom line for her is , that everything she arranges must be -free and open to all. As a result, the summer program draws hundreds of kids to the library each week to choose books and to attend the events that take place almost daily. In the past, Ms. Rosa ;`went begging," as she called it,.to get donations of merchandise and cash for the summer program. Now her reputation is established .and she feels comfortable asking for the support of the many businesses -and organizations that have helped in the past. This year, the Friends of the Georgetown Library donated $1;500,• the Sun City Kiwanis Foundation donated $1,000 to sup- port the program and merchandise donations from local businesses have been generous. This level of community support is absolutely necessary because the library's budget from the city for children's programming for the entire year is only $2,000. Ms. Rosa spends nearly double that amount on the summer alone.: The `summer fun kicks off on Wednesday, May 28, at 10 a.m. at Chatauqua Park on the west end of 8th Street. That morning, Kent Cummins will be amazing the crowd with his magic and the music of Mr. Johnny and Friends will keep every- one's toes tapping. After the enter- tainment the kids can burn off excess energy in the Moonwalk, enjoy the clowns and balloons, and recharge with the free refreshments. The whole purpose of such events as the kick-off is to get the children interested in the library and read- ing. Registration for the reading part of the summer program begins on May 23 and continues through the summer. At registration the kids set their own reading goals, then they keep track of the books they read during June and July. If they read the minimum number of books for their chosen level, they will receive a certificate of achievement and their names will go into the end- of-the-summer nd- of the -summer drawings for savings bonds or a bicycle. The calendar of summer events will be ready by May 15 or you may pick up a copy when the children register. The calendar of events also will be posted on the library's Web page at www.georgetowntex.org. What kinds of activities will you find on the summer calendar? On Tuesdays at 10:30 a.m. Laura Snyder :will present Craft `n' Tale for chil- dren who are seven or older. Each week the children will complete a different craft project that is tied to a literary theme. Happening concur- rently on Tuesdays, children who are six or younger may enjoy the new addition to the summer calen- dar — Special Tuesdays. Stories, puppets, music, clowns, animals, even aerobics are among the enter- tainment planned for the youngest children. Two traditional storytimes take place on Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. The younger children, or those who pre- fer more active listening, will meet with Kathleen Burnop, a member of the library staff. Stories for this group are shorter and include activ- ities such as action rhymes and fin- ger plays. An adult must accompany children who attend this session.

Day care and camp groups are encouraged to attend the story - time sessions, which usually have smaller audiences than the special entertainments. Finally, a variety of special enter- tainments are scheduled once a week, usually on Wednesday or Thursday, at various times. Among the performers this summer will be magicians, musicians, animal shows, a juggler, and a ventriloquist. On the calendar, Ms. Rosa has sug- gested the ages she and the per- former believe are most appropriate for each program. She emphasizes, though, that these are simply guide- lines for parents and caregivers and that you are the only one who can know what is appropriate for your child. The success of our summer pro- gram has a downside. As more and more children participate, finding space for the special events becomes more of a problem. In the past, to make space for the large audiences that attend the special events, we had moved some of the bookshelves out of the children's room and into the meeting room. That will not be an option this year since the meet- ing room is now staff workspace. Instead, we'll have to leave the book- shelves in the room and push them back to the walls. The serious nega- tive consequence of this arrange- ment is that no one will be able to browse for books in the children's room before or after special events. Ms. Rosa has suggested the follow- ing things that parents and care- givers can do to make the library's summer program a positive experi- ence for the children. ■ First, come to the library to ' check out books when no children's activities are taking place. If your days are heavily scheduled, consid- er visiting the library in the early evening. Taking a leisurely half- hour or so to focus on book selection when the children's room is quieter and less crowded will help the chil- dren understand that reading is a pleasure, not a chore, and selecting books is a treat in itself. Second, . there are programs scheduled for all ages, so bring your children to those that are appropri- ate for their age or attention level. Younger children who become bored or are frightened because they are separated from their parents can be very distracting to everyone else in the audience. ■ Third, remember that the enter- tainments are for the children and that ,seating space is very limited. Please leave strollers outside the children's room, in the designated stroller parking area. The seats on the floor are for the children: If you want to watch, please stand along the walls. We encourage you to use the time of performances to select some books for yourself, or to relax in the . main room and read a magazine. , For my loyal readers who do not have children but who continued to read this article anyway, the staff has words of encouragement for you. Plan your library, visits for ` Monday or Friday or in the. after- noons or evenings of the other weekdays. Most of those times will be free of children's activities, so you should be able to find a place to park and the noise level inside the library will be closer to normal. The lines to check out should be short and we'll be waiting with our smiles on to help you in any way possible. See you at the library!

Second, . there are programs scheduled for all ages, so bring your children to those that are appropri- ate for their age or attention level. Younger children who become bored or are frightened because they are separated from their parents can be very distracting to everyone else in the audience. ■ Third, remember that the enter- tainments are for the children and that ,seating space is very limited. Please leave strollers outside the children's room, in the designated stroller parking area. The seats on the floor are for the children: If you want to watch, please stand along the walls. We encourage you to use the time of performances to select some books for yourself, or to relax in the . main room and read a magazine. , For my loyal readers who do not have children but who continued to read this article anyway, the staff has words of encouragement for you. Plan your library, visits for ` Monday or Friday or in the. after- noons or evenings of the other weekdays. Most of those times will be free of children's activities, so you should be able to find a place to park and the noise level inside the library will be closer to normal. The lines to check out should be short and we'll be waiting with our smiles on to help you in any way possible. See you at the library!
