Library News
By AMANDA GRANTHAM BRANCH MANAGER,

We are off to a great start this summer in our Summer Reading Program. We have had many attendees at programs and patrons collecting prizes for logging minutes in Beanstack.

Have you signed up for Beanstack yet? It’s not too late! Beanstack is the platform we use to keep track of the number of minutes read for Summer Reading. We have prizes for signing up and for each 100 minutes logged in Beanstack. We also have a grand prize to be given away at the end of July.

How do you win the grand prize? When you sign up and log 100 minutes, your name will be put in a drawing. Every time you attend a Summer Reading Program your name will be put into the drawing. We have four age groups for the grand prize; 0-5 years, 6-11 years, 12-18 years, and 19 and up. Beanstack is for ages 0 to 99.

The kids and teens program schedule for the week of June 17-21 is as follows:

• Monday, June 17, The Tulsa Zoo at the Eufaula Elementary Gym at 1 p.m. This program is for all ages.

• Thursday, June 20, storytime in the Follansbee Room at 10 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. This program is for children ages 0-5.

• Thursday, June 20, Afternoon movie in the Follansbee Room at 2 p.m. This program is for teens ages 6-18.

We want to thank the city of Eufaula for trimming the trees and bushes around the yard, cleaning our parking lot, and keeping the grass cut. The grounds look wonderful for all the patrons we have coming to our Summer Reading Programs.

Friends of Eufaula Memorial Library (FEML) is looking for new members to join and continue to help build the library. Their next monthly program luncheon is at 11:30 a.m. Friday, June 21. Contact President Gail Rose at member.FEML@gmail. com to join.

Please visit and follow us on Facebook or visit our website at eols.org/ eufaula for other events and activities.

Amanda Grantham is the branch manager of Eufaula Memorial Library, a branch of the Eastern Oklahoma Library System.
