SUMMER 2008 EVENTS Yarmouth Town Libraries Summer Reading Kick-off On June 25, 2008 at 6:00pm the Yarmouth Town Libraries kicked off the 2008 “Wild Reads at your library” Summer Reading Program. Over 160 enthusiastic participants swarmed to the South Yarmouth Library for a magnificent performance by Brett "Ooch" Outchcunis.  Yo-Yos galore were flying and fun was had by all. Readers were informed how their reading could help a local organization. This will be Yarmouth’s 4th community-based summer reading program. We will be working to help the Dennis Yarmouth Ecumenical Council for the Prevention of Homelessness.    Visit any of the Yarmouth Town Libraries for more information on how to participate in our reading program this summer.   We would like to thank our local sponsors, Library Associations and Friends groups for their generosity and support of our 2008 Summer Reading Program!   Armchair Bookstore Bass River Sports  World Candy Co.

Mercy is equally certain she likes the sound of trick-or-TREATING and can picture those piles of buttered toast already. As for the Lincoln Sisters next door, how could they know that their cat would get into the act and lead them all on a Halloween "parade" of hysterical proportions? Kate DiCamillo’s beguiling pig is back in a tale full of treats, tricky turns, hijinks, and high humor.   Knick Knack Paddy Wack by Engle Adapted from the traditional folk song with the refrain with a knick-knack, paddy whack give a dog a bone, this old man came rolling home, Barefoot s new version features a parade of children from different cultures, each of them playing a different musical instrument.
