Just three days later, Anne and her family were arrested and sent to Nazi concentration camps. Anne died at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp on March 15, 1945, at age 15. Anne’s diary has sold over 30 million copies and has been translated into 70 languages. Read this beloved memoir today, at Your Home Public Library. I’m Cooling Down Over Here… A series of new air conditioners has been installed in our library. The project began last year, but was postponed over the winter. The final units went in during the first week in July, thanks to our custodian and other library staff members. Buzz works his magic! Adding the finishing touches. Free Movie Night features Despicable Me In honor of August as Family Fun Month, we will be showing the movie Despicable Me on Thursday, August 8th at 6:30 PM. As part of a scheme to steal a shrink ray and earn the title of "World's Greatest Villain," Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) enlists the help of three little orphan girls. His plot, of course, goes hilariously wrong. The film also features the voice talents of Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Miranda Cosgrove, Dana Gaier, and Elsie Fisher. Popcorn and juice will be available, or you may bring dinner. The program is FREE and open to all ages. The movie is rated PG for some rude humor and cartoon violence. Preschool Programs Our Preschool Programs will continue this month, Monday evenings at 6:30 PM, August 5th & 12th. Children 3 ½ to 5 and caregivers are invited to join us at Your Home Public Library for programs that will include books, rhymes, crafts and more! No registration is required.
