Library open house Saturday, June 14

The Whiting Free Library has announced its schedule for summer 2014. The library will be open Saturdays, 9 a.m. to noon.

The season kicks off with an open house on Saturday, June 14, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. There will be signups for the Summer Reading Program and science activities. (Each Saturday, participants can pick up a new Science Challenge to do at home.) Science Nights, featuring concepts from physics and chemistry, are scheduled for Thursdays, 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., through the end of July (except July 3). Science challenge participants will gather for a "Mad Scientist Party" in September.

Children's story time will be held Wednesdays at 10 a.m., June 18 through July 30. The last story time session will include a Royal Tea Party.

The library is looking for teens and adults to reshelf books, lead reading programs, lead and assist story time programs, provide snacks for events, and serve as actors for a Haunted Library event in the fall. Those interested should stop by the library to volunteer.
