                                Book Buddies

                     The   Summer  Session of Book Buddies at the Woonsocket Harris Library will be  held  on Wednesdays July 12, 19,and26 @ 3-4 pm in the Children’s Program Room.

Each week Teen Readers aged 12-17 meet with Little Book  Buddies   entering  1st and 2nd grade  for one on– one  reading , coloring and puzzles. This is a great opportunity for teens to mentor younger children and fulfill community service hours. It is necessary for  the  teens  and  younger children  to sign up prior to the start of the program because we try to match a teen buddy with a little buddy for each session.    It is also a good way for early readers to practice their reading skills. Both groups should register at the Children’s Room Desk or call 769-9044 ext. 2.  Registration begins on Monday 6/26/17.

 

 

 

 

A large crowd attended a vigil in Minneapolis Wednesday for the woman who was shot to death by ICE agents. Federal authorities say 37-year-old Renee Good - an American citizen - was shot in self-defense Wednesday after she attempted to run over an ICE agent in her car. That claim is being disputed by the mayor of Minneapolis and others who have seen videos of the incident.        Venezuelan officials say a hundred people were killed in the U.S. raid that captured President Nicolas Maduro. Maduro's wife was also captured and reportedly sustained a head injury in the raid. The country has declared a week of mourning for the dead.        A manhunt is underway for whoever killed two people outside a church in Utah. Police say a funeral was taking place at an LDS church in Salt Lake City Wednesday when an altercation broke out in the parking lot and shots were fired at a group of people. They say there's no indication that it was a "targeted attack against a religion."        Nine Republicans are voting with Democrats to set up a House vote on extending federal health care subsidies. Wednesday's procedural vote passed by a slim majority, setting up another vote today on passing a three-year extension of the Affordable Care Act subsidies that expired on December 31st.        Flu cases are surging nationwide as fewer Americans get vaccinated. The CDC says about 130-million people have gotten a flu shot so far this season, down sharply from pandemic-era levels, and the U.S. is now seeing its highest flu activity in 25 years. Nineteen states are reporting very high respiratory illness levels.        HBO is renewing "Real Time With Bill Maher" for two additional seasons. Maher has hosted the show since 2003 with over 700 episodes produced. The comedy show brings figures from different industries together for lively and tense panel discussions. Season 24 premieres on January 23rd.
