Where the Wild Books Are

Explore the world of Belly Up’s main protagonist, Teddy Fitzroy, and solve the mystery of what happened to FunJungle Theme Park’s beloved mascot, Henry the Hippo. Is the verdict natural causes or foul play? With plenty of suspicious suspects, you’ll have to stay sharp to monkey your way out of trouble.

Paint Pouring

Art Club

We’re painting the town this summer at our All Ages Art Club on Mondays at 10 AM. Participants are encouraged to dress for a mess!

Urban Yoga

There’s no Cats on Mats program this summer, but that doesn’t mean there’s no yoga! Join the library for some urban yoga in Downtown Tifton at Veterans Memorial Park on Wednesday, July 19^th at 7:30 PM.

Robotics

The summer Robotics program has only two weeks left, and we’re on to the fun stuff! The next two meetings will be focused on robotic boats, and yes, we’ll have water for them to paddle around! Robotics meets at 4 PM on Mondays, and we’ll be in the smaller multipurpose room due to the involvement of large amounts of water.

This program is designed for kids 8 years old and up.

Sewing Friends-y

Sewing Friends-y, the youth (ages 12 to 17) sewing group, will meet at 4 PM on Wednesday, July 19^th. We’ll be working on our denim cross body bag. We hope participants will be able to come and stitch up a storm! (So long as it’s not a real storm and the power doesn’t go out!)

Coffee & a Book

This month join us for a “Book Tasting.” There will be a selection of books on display to peruse while enjoying your coffee or tea. Come sample something new or try an oldie but goodie. Books, coffee and conversation is a great way to start your day at our new book club for adults. Hope to see you on July 20^th from 10–11 AM.

Anime Club

Financial Literacy Initiative

Tifton’s Financial Literacy Initiative “strives to better equip a population to make good decisions on credit and better position assets and resources that are effective and productive, resulting in significant personal, household-level, small business and community-wide impact.” The Initiative will be holding events throughout the year.
