I hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th of July. Summer reading is still going strong so don't forget to stop by and pick up your July calendars. Check our website for lots of great programs. Remember, Snakes Alive is coming to Dubuque County Library on Monday, July 8th at 2:00 at our Epworth Branch. You won't want to miss the show. This reminds me of one of my girls favorite poets, Shel Silverstein. He had a short poem about boa constrictors!
Boa Constrictor by Shel Silverstein
Oh, I'm being eaten
By a boa constrictor,
A boa constrictor,
A boa constrictor,
I'm being eaten by a boa constrictor,
And I don't like it--one bit.
Well, what do you know?
It's nibblin' my toe.
Oh, gee,
It's up to my knee.
Oh my,
It's up to my thigh.
Oh, fiddle,
It's up to my middle.
Oh, heck,
It's up to my neck.
Oh, dread,
It's upmmmmmmmmmmffffffffff . . .
By a boa constrictor,
A boa constrictor,

Oh, gee,
It's up to my knee.
Oh my,

See you next week at the Library!! Dawn
