The Atlantic Highlands Library
The Atlantic Highlands Library! Not only the library, but the great people who work there! They’re pleasant, downright helpful and eager to share whatever is new, different or exciting there. Check out some of the newest books they are featuring on display. They even have shelves of free books including recipes, novels, history and children’s books. There are brochures there on summer camp and of course all their special events.
Tomorrow the Garden Club is paying a visit at 3:15 to the library just to tell everyone about monarch butterflies, why they are important and how to help them survive!
Also tomorrow, the Summer Reading Challenge starts for the kids. Preschoolers can join the 1,000 books before kindergarten challenge as well as logbooks and that sounds challenging at the very least! For those who want to get the Beanstack Tracker for the challenge, it’s free and available HERE
One of my favorite programs at the library is coming up on June 22 at 3:15 and it’s just fun to watch and see how animated the children get. That’s when youngsters can practice their reading skills and either read or show pictures in books to a trained therapy dog! Amazing to watch humans and canines share the joy of a good book.
The Girl’s Cafe
The Girls Café always makes everybody feel happy but even more so with Mikey keeping the outdoor dining so beautiful, clean and colorful! There isn’t anyone who takes more care in helping others and making someone feel a little happier or more appreciative of nature than Mikey. And the Girls at the Café appreciate everything he does for sure! So do all the customers!
Shared a fun minute with another early morning walker today. She was walking her dog on one side of Ave C, I on walking in the opposite direction on the other when we both heard a bird singing so loudly in a tree. We both stopped to listen. For a minute, we both stood in silence while that little bird, which neither of us could spot, sang his heart out and made the day seem happy. When he stopped singing and we noticed that each other had stopped, we laughed, commented on the wonderful song and continued on our way. But it made the day start even better than usual, too! Take the time to notice the little things when you wall…the singing birds, the new buds on a tree, the bright flowers in a garden, and the neat, lush lawns in front of well cared for homes.
