By random drawing of all the adults who completed the 2010 Adult Summer Reading Program, ReaderNation, at the Stratford Branch Library, Yvette Gardner won the $50 gift card for Amazon.com. Yvette plans on using her card to purchase a book of couples' devotions that she saw in a bookstore for $24.99. The book, "Love Dare" by Alex and Stephen Kendrick, is a couple's daily devotional featured in the movie, "Fireproof".

Seeing as it's still hurricane season...we have a fun program for you to attend with your children this next Tuesday at 2:00 pm. Even though all of the other storms have petered out this year (hooray!), we still want to provide the opportunity of educating your children on the topic of severe weather. 

The American Red Cross will be hosting the "Masters of Disaster" program to teach kids (and adults) how to prepare for and act during a hurricane.  The program will last approximately one hour.

So come on by and become a 'Master of Disaster'!  (We completely understand if you hold to the belief that your child is already a kind of Master of Disaster, but just in case they have not yet achieved this status, or even if they have, please come anyways :)
