Barre Yoga Classes
Beginning June 13 we will be offering a six week class (6/13, 6/20, 6/27, Wed.7/10, Th 7/18 and 7/25)  in Total Barre, a low impact regimen that combines Pilates, dance, yoga, cardio and strength training. The class will be taught by Leah Taylor, a certified Total Barre Instructor with a degree in Sport and Exercise Science.
Class runs from 9:30-10:45. Cost is $65 for the six classes, or $11 per drop-in session, payable to the Friends of Fiske.

Zinio Online Magazines
We have the online magazines up and running and we think you’ll enjoy them.  If you need help or want a handout or list of titles, ask at the desk. If you haven’t tried it, please do-it’s a great collection of titles purchased by the Friends of the Fiske. Download and read either online or save to read offline at another time.
Go to www.fiskelib.org, Database Page and then scroll down to View Zinio. You will need to set up an account with your Fiske card before borrowing titles to read on your computer, Ipad, Iphone or Android.  Check at the front desk for a quick start guide!!

Booksale
The booksale was a great success with over $1400 raised for the Friends of the Fiske.  This should help our library with lots of “luxuries”.  Thanks to all who attended!

Members Night Entertainment
Thanks to Mike and Sean McGuire and Bill Crabtree for providing the music at our Friends' Members Night. IT WAS ENJOYED BY ALL!!

Summer Reading Club Donations
Dear Friends –
I am writing this letter to ask your support for our Summer Reading Program at the Fiske Public Library. We are asking library patrons, local businesses, banks, civic groups, etc. to donate items (gift certificates, savings bonds, raffle items, crafts, school supplies, coupons for free ice cream cones or slices of pizza, etc.) to encourage Wrentham families to read together. We will use the donations as reading incentive prizes. We hope this will not only be good advertising for local merchants but also FUN for the children. We will be happy to post names of supporters at the library and on our website.  
We’re happy to say that participation in the Summer Reading Program has grown each year.

YOUR SUPPORT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
Thank you in advance!
Sincerely, Elizabeth A. Nadow, Children’s Librarian

P.S. We would appreciate it if you could make your donation ASAP so that we may prepare publicity. Donations may be left at the library along with your name and address. Please note that the donation is for the Summer Reading Club.  THANKS!!

NEW THIS SUMMER
All Summer Reading Club Members that complete the 30 days of reading (or being read to) by Aug 1st may pick up a form at Fiske Library to send to the PAWSOX for a free ticket (game date to be announced). On game night there will be a pregame on-field ceremony to honor the Reading Club Members.

Once again this summer the children are invited to help Miss Liz choose an animal, honeybees or trees to donate through Heifer International. Founded in 1944, Heifer International is a humanitarian assistance organization that works to end world hunger and protect the earth. Through livestock, training and “passing on the gift,” Heifer has helped seven million families in more than 125 countries improve their quality of life and move toward greater self-reliance. Heifer helps build strong communities because each project participant agrees to pass on the gift of animal offspring, training, or skills to another family in need.

All children finishing the summer reading club program will get to vote for which animal(s), bees or trees  they would like to donate to help a family in need. See the display  in the children’s room for more information and visit www.heifer.org to learn more about this worthy organization.         

Thank You
