What's Happening @ Your Library
Going Buggy: A Good Thing
Sneaks to “Catch the Reading Bug” for Summer Reading 2008
This summer Sneaks takes flight to “Catch
the Reading Bug,” an 8-week odyssey for all ages that
begins Monday, June 9 and ends Saturday, August 2
at the Baltimore County Public Library.
 It’s crawling with creative hands-on
crafts, imaginative activities and fun programs, plus drawings for valuable
prizes.
Three different age-appropriate programs are available: Two “Catch the
Reading Bug” programs, one (Read-to-Me)
for ages birth through five years, another for
school ages
(kindergarten through grade 5), and a third titled “Metamorphosis”
for the teen set. After picking up a Reading Log, the fun begins.
Participants become eligible to win a $50 Barnes & Noble gift card in the
July 7 drawing at each branch. Those who finish all of the activities can
have their completed Reading Log stamped at their branch to be entered for
the grand prize drawing on August 22 and win a bicycle or snowboard from
Princeton Sports. Adults, too, can win fabulous prizes simply by submitting
an entry that lists a favorite title.
Branches will be buzzing for two months with special programs for
families and children, and jumping with lively fare for teens.
Bound to be popular attractions are the week-long craft table activities
that make their debut this year. Among them are opportunities to make pipe
cleaner bugs, origami, hardware jewelry, buggy headbands and paper plate
bugs.
You could “Catch the Reading Bug” at any one of 40 states using this
theme developed by the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) that BCPL
has signed up with to offer for the first time.
Hope to see you “going buggy.” Register anytime during the eight weeks.

Focus on the Foundation
Storyville Is a Success
Storyville, the “literacy wonderland” that opened recently in the
Rosedale Library, has surpassed expectations. Since February’s
ribbon-cutting ceremony, there has been a continuing buzz of excitement,
drawing young and old from near and far. To date, more than 7,500 visitors
have come from 64 different ZIP codes and four different states.
Not only are the preschoolers who visit fully engaged in the experience,
their caregivers are captivated as well, wishing there had been a Storyville
for them when they were growing up according to the reactions of just two
parents. One of them says “I went to Storyville at the Rosedale Library this
week and I was so excited when I walked around. I want to come just by
myself because it has everything I wanted when I was a kid, but … . My 2
½-year-old son absolutely loves it! And my 6-month-old daughter loves the
garden with the mirror stepping stones.” Another parent reports “it’s really
unbelievable … I take my twin boys there who are only 7 months old just
because I love it so much.”
 Once only a dream, Storyville came true because of the Foundation for
Baltimore County Public Library and its dedicated volunteer board of
directors, who over the years have organized and raised funds for the
library projects outside of the annual county budget. When presented with
the ambitious Storyville concept, they were both excited and nervous. In
September 2006, fund raising for Storyville began. It was embraced by
hundreds of individual donors, including many BCPL employees, as well as
major foundations and corporation, such as the Bank of America Foundation,
Rosedale Federal Savings and Loan, McCormick & Co., Inc., Harry and Jeanette
Weinberg Foundation, and Verizon Foundation. The Henry and Ruth Blaustein
Rosenberg Foundation recently added to the Storyville campaign with a
$15,000 grant for construction. At the grand opening in February, all of
those involved were glad to be a part of something as wonderful as
Storyville.

How to Catch the
Reading Bug
Generally speaking, bugs (the common word for insects) are spineless
creatures, usually associated with things that crawl and can fly.
Considering that 1 million species exist, chances are good you see at least
one every day. This summer branches will “bee buzzing” for two months with
all things buggy in special programs for families and children and other
programs for teens.
Family Fun: “Catch the Reading Bug” musical fun with C. Shells;
“Magic and Wit and Bugs,” an interactive comedy show by Mike Rose; and “The
Three Bees of Life,” a face-painting story time.
For Preschoolers: “Bugs Don’t Bug Me,” a musical celebration of the
garden world and its tiny inhabitants with Tracey Eldridge; “The Rainbow
Puppet Show,” a zany variety show featuring Joe Pipik’s Backpack Puppets and
dozens of buggy friends.
For School Ages: “In Search of the Reading Bug,” a minimusical with
puppetry by Rick Waterhouse; “Don’t Bug Me, I’m Reading” with storytelling,
paper folding and silly songs by Megan Hicks (only at Lansdowne and
Pikesville); creative story writing using the colorful illustrations by
artist Celia Yitzhak in “An Ant’s Eye View” (only at Essex, Pikesville and
Rosedale). Ages 4-11 must fly to Towson to “Search for the Reading Bug” with
Professor Nigel Netwinder, who presents an interactive show with guitar
songs, puppets and books in his program sponsored by the Friends of the
Towson Library in June.
For their 24 Reading Log activities, school ages can choose from making a
craft, telling stories to a family member including a pet, and making a
collage, to dressing up like a favorite storybook character or reading
directions on how to play a new video game.
For Teens: Entertaining, creative and practical programs have been
logged in for the teen “Metamorphosis” Summer Reading Program. They can
choose to complete 15 activities from their list or read up to 15 books
instead. They might listen to an audio book, complete a craft, write a blog
entry or start a journal.
All ages
will head for the “bees knees” week-long craft
table activities that make their debut this year. Among them are
opportunities to create pipe cleaner bugs, origami, hardware jewelry, manga
drawings, buggy headbands and bookmarks, and paper plate bugs, available
every other week beginning June 16 at all branches (except Loch Raven).
