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

area at the back of the library?? Donations of surplus

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 to the Raymond
Family for the beautiful Flowering Winter Hawthorne Tree
donated in Memory of Donald Fisher, longtime Chairman of
the Fiske Library Trustees.
