School is out and the kids are looking for adventure, and as always, the Patrick Heath Public Library has something for everyone! This year we not only have our summer reading challenge for kiddos, but teens and adults as well. Come by the library to get your Summer Reading Passport and start collecting passport “stamps” for each book you read that completes one of the challenges.
Every time you collect a stamp, you also receive a raffle ticket to put towards the specific prize you want to win, which means you can read as many or as few books as you want and still have a chance to win!
Looking for something to “Dune”?
Join us in the Hub as we transform the space into a pop-up movie theater with free popcorn, nachos, and candy for our viewers. On July 5 at 1 p.m. we will be showing Dune: Part One, following up with Dune: Part Two on July 12 at 1 p.m. This Science Fiction series is rated PG-13 and is based on the 1965 book written by Frank Herbert of the same name. It follows the story of young Paul Atreides, as he discovers his extraordinary destiny linked to the planet his family was entrusted to protect along with its inhabitants.
Help us uncover Pirate Patrick’s Lost Loot!
This summer we are partnering with Boerne Escape Rooms to provide you with a free escape room adventure here at the library! The amazing team at Boerne Escape Rooms already ran the escape room here on Saturday, June 22 for five fun-loving groups of escapees and it was a blast! They will be back here for more pirate-y adventures Saturday, July 20 at 10 a.m., so call the library and sign up today!
One Killer Party!
Are you a fan of true crime and a good time? Join Killer Crafts on Wednesday, July 10 at 6 p.m. for the final episodes of Going West’s podcast about the murder of Gabby Petito. For our June meeting we had a special craft of diamond-painted coasters, and they turned out beautifully! July we will also have a special craft, but it is a surprise, so you will have to come on by to find out what it is!
Killer Crafts is a group of true crime junkies and murderinos that meet monthly at the library to listen to a true crime podcast together while enjoying snacks and crafts. Everyone is welcome, but please note the serious and sometimes graphic nature of the podcasts that we listen to.
Check out the library calendar for a full list of events!
