Amazing new discovery! Reading makes you warm in winter, cool in summer. You can get some great ideas for landscaping, lawns, decks, fencing and pools in the May issue of St. Louis Magazine. Become an expert on cooling your home and car with Audel’s Air Conditioning: Home and Commercial. After you’ve whipped up some lemon-frosted plum squares from Better Homes and Gardens’ All-Time Favorite Salad Recipes or a cool summer soup from Craig Claiborne’s Favorites, use The Formula Book to make a refreshing face wash and sit down and shiver over Peter Straub’s Ghost Story.

Children of all ages will enjoy the puppet show, “Liza Lou and the Yeller Belly Swamp” on June 11th at 2. On June 25th at 10, there will be a program of songs, stories, and puppets for children three to seven years old. Both of these programs are free.

Also for young people is our musical talent show on Friday, June 8th, at 4 p.m. Demonstrate your talent and selfconfidence by participating or simply come to enjoy others performing.

The annual Summer Reading Club begins on June 1st and is open to all children through eighth grade.

Come into our air-conditioned branch to browse, attend a program, or take home something refreshing. Cool up and read!
