Bandera Library Happenings

Have you ever heard of a smoothie bike? Well, grab your helmet, cause this is a ride.

A smoothie bike is exactly what it sounds like. A blender is attached to the crank of a stationary bike and pedaling the bike runs the motor for the blender.

As part of our collaboration with the AgriLife Extension office, our teen program teaching tweens and teens how to make smoothies will feature the AgriLife Smoothie Bike.

The kids can learn how to make healthy and wheely good smoothies. Hope you can join us Friday, July 21, at 10 a.m.!

Thursday, July 27th is the last of the Summer Reading Program! What a privilege it has been to spend time encouraging your kids and grandkids to read. Join us for an end of program bash with a bouncy house, a face painter and all the popcorn you can eat.

Speaking of our summer reading coming to a close, we still have a few more weeks left of the Summer Pizza Reading challenge. Pick up a reading log at the library and meet the reading goals to earn free pizza courtesy of The Dough Joe.

Save the date for a new crafting class on Tuesday, August 1st at 10 a.m. Our resident artist and child of the 1970s, Karen, will be teaching a macramé class in the Downstairs Meeting Room.

The group will be making macramé planter hangers. The library is providing twine for the project, just bring your own 4- or 5-inch pot to build the macramé around.

As always, there is so much going on at the library the best way to keep up is to follow us on social media or sign up for our monthly newsletter. Contact the library to get signed up.
