Rocket Boys Display in September
Lynn Burke, our Galveston Reads inhouse illustrater/artist extraordinaire, has a new display for the Rosenberg Library. Hope to have members of the community join us this fall to blast off with Galveston Reads. Programming events are scheduled for Jan-March 2010.
Meetings: Tuesday, September 15th
Quick reminder that we’re doing marathon meetings again Tuesday, September 15. The Book Selection Committee meets at 3:00 pm, GENERAL Committee meeting (for everyone) at 4:00 pm, and the Programming Committee will meet at 5:00 pm. All meetings will be held in the McCullough Room of Rosenberg Library and with the library closing at 6:00 pm you can be assured all meetings will be punctual and kept to one hour.
Poom asked me to let the Book Selection committee members (affectionately known as the Readers Group) know the library now has copies of American Rust and Art of Racing in the Rain. Please contact Poom if you’d like either one held for you. American Rust is spoken for, Art of Racing in the Rain is only one available now.

Rocket Boys and Girls (GReads crew and spouses) in July 4th Parade 2009
Thanks to all who came and helped string those little foam beads last week, prior to parade- including Emmy’s husband, Chris! And it was so nice having a look at the rocket and banners that Poster and Lynn made (respectively)!
Thanks again, to Chris, Mike, David, Jim, Mary Case, Karen (Emmy’s friend), and Emmy for participating in the parade. We were right behind Lynn and the Privateers, who were the only marching band! More … Lynn was marching right in front of the float/truck with the Privateers, Glennda was the official photographer and Emmy, Karen(Emmy’s friend) and Galveston Reads crew, ran and tossed goodies.
We handed out bookmarks with beads, red, white and blue bears, and beads, and ran out about half way through. We enjoyed yelling: Read the book, See the movie, and Come to the library! To those who had read the book, perhaps a plot summary? Got some funny looks about plot summaries, as seemed to remind folks of school, during summer!
The silver rocket by Poster was a hit, and good for the Fourth, had a stand and colorful strings to denote fuel/engine blasts? Many in the crowd asked us to launch at them! But, Emmy didn’t think that was a good idea. I wonder why???
A good time was had by all, ended with lunch at the Mosquito and siesta for some of us!

Meetings Moved to TUESDAY August 11
Next Meetings:
3 PM Readers
4 PM General
Location:
Rosenberg Library
From Karen:
Okay gang, I have good/bad news. The good news is that the summer reading club for children is going well and we have lots of kids attending our programs. The bad news is that this means the programs are a little more staff intensive than I originally thought they would be and we definitely need all hands on deck for the ferry ride scheduled July 21. What this means to you is the next Galveston Reads Meeting will be rescheduled for Tuesday, August 11 at 4:00 pm. The next Book Selection Meeting will be that same day at 3:00 pm. The meetings will be held at Rosenberg Library. Please adjust your schedules and I do apologize for any inconvenience.
Thank you!
