		Join others for the First Friday Flick as we watch the 2013 Academy Award winning Best Picture, ARGO, starring Ben Affleck, Bryan Cranston and others. Based on real events the dramatic thriller "Argo" chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis focusing on the little-known role that the CIA and Hollywood played-information that was not declassified until many years after the event. An action-packed thriller, you don't want to miss this one! Popcorn served. Rated R; Runtime-2 hours

		Adopt-a-Monster
		Contact: Lauren Longbottom 610-583-0593 children@ridleylibrary.org

Adoptions are free, and will last for ONE WEEK (children will pick-up their monster on a Monday, and drop it off the following Monday). To adopt a monster, you must visit Ridley Library, fill out an 'adoption' form, and sign-up for the week to take your monster home. Registration will begin May 20. Adoptions will start June 17, and run until August 9. BE CREATIVE...take your monster home, give him or her a name, bring it on vacation, take it to karate, go get ice cream, read it bedtime stories! And whatever it is you and your monster do, take lots of pictures, and have fun!!! Photos will be shared on the Ridley Township Public Library website and Facebook page. For all ages. This program is free. Must register.

Adoptions will start June 17, and run until August 9. BE CREATIVE...take your monster home, give him or her a name, bring it on vacation, take it to karate, go get ice cream, read it bedtime stories! And whatever it is you and your monster do, take lots of pictures, and have fun!!! Photos will be shared on the Ridley Township Public Library website and Facebook page. For all ages. This program is free. Must register.

		Contact: Rachée Fagg 610-623-0239 ext 5 lacsd@delcolibraries.org
		It's a summer reading program just for our youngest library friends! Each week we will focus on one of the pre-reading skills and explore them through fun activities. At the completion of the program children will earn a prize. The six skills are: Print motivation - or liking books - means children will want to learn to read. Phonological awareness - hearing words and the smaller sounds in words - helps children sound out written words. Vocabulary - knowing many words - helps children recognize written words and understand what they read. Narrative skills - being able to tell and understand the structure of a story - help children develop thinking and comprehension skills. Print awareness - seeing words - means being familiar with printed language. It helps children feel comfortable with books and understand that print is useful. Letter knowledge - knowing the names and sounds of letters - helps children figure out how to sound out words. This program is for children ages 5 and under.
