Not too much to report this week. Some of the books I ordered last month got lost! They will be coming soon. It was a nice Memorial Day. I hope everyone got to a cemetery somewhere to remember the veteran’s we have lost. The Rippey Cemetery was lined with flags thanks to Mayor Dan Brubaker. I was getting lunch ready, but I did get to watch the service later that Chris Roberts put on Facebook.
Don’t forget the magician is coming to the Rippey Library, June 21, 2021. The Greene County Library Association funds this. so I hope it will be well attended. We hope to get a mailer out soon, and this will come in your mailbox. You can put it on your refrigerator so you will remember. August 6, 2021 at 2:30 the Blank Park Zoo will be coming to the library. Both events are for parents, kids, and anyone able to come. They will be at the big Community Room.
School is out for the summer. I have had some younger patrons come in and play with some Legos. It has been a long time since the youth could come in. You need to remember Summer Reading will be starting soon. We still don’t have a date but keep checking.
Phyllis (McElheney) Lepke has kept us supplied in books. Some of the ones she brings we have, but she brings quite an assortment. We always will take books in good condition and not too old. I also “withdraw” several books that haven’t been read in five years. Those will be going to New Hope, so you might find a bargain there.
Thanks to Kyle Mowrer and Lyle Rychnovsky for getting our book drop painted! It looks much better. They are both Library Trustees. I appreciate their help. Lyle takes my recycling down to containers when the box gets full. Remember to read a book!
