“What’s today?”
“October?”

Kudos to you if you know I’m quoting the movie Billy Madison. I love Adam Sandler.

Doesn’t it feel like October today? It’s dreary, drizzling and cool. Yuck. So much for it almost being summer. The Lake-Lehman students still stuck in school had nicer weather when they were off in October.

If you’re looking for something to do besides the usual movie or board game, stop by the Back Mountain Memorial Library.

The children’s summer reading program officially began on Monday and runs through August 14. Children can register this Wednesday through Thursday at 11 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.; Saturday at 2 and 6 p.m.; and at 11 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday, June 23 through Friday, June 27. Children attending one of these special registration times, can fill out a game card, decorate a bug jar, play Bug Bingo and learn about summer reading programs. Anyone who cannot register at one of these times may register at the library during regular hours.
 
And don’t forget about the library if you are an adult. Bring your laptop and enjoy free WiFi internet. Or curl up with a good book. They have plenty of new releases including “Audition: A Memoir” by Barbara Walters, “Traveling with Your Pet: The AAA Petbook,” and “White House Ghosts” by Robert Schlesinger. You can read new book release listings from the library each month in The Dallas Post.
