Monroe County Library
is again offering a summer
full of programs and activi-
ties for all ages. The grand
kick-off for the Summer
Children's Activities was
Tuesday; June 5 with over
a hundred children, plus
caregivers, older siblings
and helpers enjoying the
introduction of the 2018
musical theme, "Libraries
Rock."
The inaugural program
for the season was two
hours (two programs)
rather than the one-hour
allowed for most of the
programs. First Dr. Magical
Balloons (Dewayne Reyn-
olds of Auburn, Ala.) cre-
ated musical instruments
from balloons and enlisted
audience members to join
his musical performances
for the group. The children
weren't too quick to recog-
nize older rock songs, even
Elvis, but named vocalists
nearer their generation,
like Katy Perry and Justin
Bieber, almost before the
notes hit the air. Following
the high energy program of
Dr. Magical Balloons, chil-
dren could visit tables with
various types of instru-
ments and try their hands
(and mouths and ears) at
them.
Ms. Ann demonstrated
the range of music one can
make with a keyboard.
And R.J. Reynolds, Randy
Buffmgton and Dana Har-
ris, who play together in a
band in Macon, demon-
strated the magic they can
make with various stringed
instruments, from guitar to
banjo. There were glasses to
tap for tones and instru-
ments to shake, rattle, beat
and blow. There were even
kazoos to take home.
On Thursday, June 7 the
Monroe County Club-
house behind the Library,
where most of the sum-
mer programs take place,
was filled with children
again as Monroe County
Farm Bureau presented
a program about milk,
complete with complimen-
tary servings of ice cream.
Children were invited to
wear their favorite cos-
tumes to the program, and
little princesses, cowboys,
mermaids, superheroes,
pro athletes, cheerleaders
and fairies were there to
learn about milk and enjoy
ice cream. Melissa Mathis
read a story about LoueUa,
a cow who needed a kiss
to give milk, and told the
young audience some in-
teresting facts about milk,
like that a dairy cow gives
six gallons of milk per day
The Monroe County Farm
Bureau served 120 cups of
ice cream at the event.
Children's Librarian
Tracy Brinkrnan urged the
children to get their own
library cards ffthey did
not already have them. She
also encouraged them to
sign up for the Summer
Reading Program, which
includes a goody bag with
registration, and to read
this summer. She said
that last summer Monroe
County children logged
7,000 hours of reading, a 50
percent increase over the
previous year.
"You blew my socks off;,'
she said. "That's why I'm
always barefoot.
Brinkman said the goal
for this summer is 10,000
hours of reading. She

said she will change her
hair color from blonde to
rainbow if they reach the
goal and will even go for
for a long mohawk if they
exceed the goal.
"I'll say the kids made me
do it," said Brinkman. "You
have enough on your team
to make medo it."
There will be special
programs for children
each Tuesda Wednesday
and Thursday at 11 a.m
including Lego Learning,
Hot Dog Da) karate and
magic. There will also be
times to learn Spanish in
the afternoon and evening.
Special programs for
teens are planned each
Tuesday, induding a visit
from Game Time Gaming
Truck on June 19 at I p.m.
And there are even adult/
family activities planned,
such as movies, karaoke,
trivia, bingo and Zumba.
No one can say there aren't
fun things to do in Mon-
