The newest season of e-sports is upon us! This program consistently brings in kids to our library for fun and friendly competition while also enjoying other things our library has to offer.

Thanks to some recent donations, we have most of what we'll need for snacks and drinks for the kids this season. If you or a business would like to sponsor any additional food and snacks or provide the $100 in prize money we give out each season, please reach out to us at [email protected].

Batman wants to remind the children that Story Time is back this Wednesday at the Brooklyn Library at 930am. To celebrate, he is going to star in another puppet show. We apologize in advance for some of his past shows, like the one where he beat up the big bad wolf and kept shouting "Justice for Gotham!" We made him promise to behave this time. He responded by saying, "I'm the puppet the library deserves, but not what it needs right now." We tried to follow up, but when we turned around he was gone.

Yesterday we had our last summer event, the taste test challenge for 9th-12th graders, and it went very well! I think that's how we'd describe this whole summer. So many people came to see us for books, but even more came for programs like: The annual paper airplane contest, the bubble show, navigation play, bagpipes, Tournament Tuesday, learning about p**p in Landes Park (thanks for giving the kids what they want Amy Andrews Durbin), red light green light at Malcom City Park, and Monarchs at Brooklyn Community Estate. Thanks to everyone who sponsored the summer reading program, for Friends of the Brooklyn Library; Books for Brooklyn, Iowa and Bear Creek Kids Campus for sponsoring the entertainers. Thanks to our community for your continual support and showing up in big and small ways. We look forward to doing all this and more next summer!

While you're here, look for the hidden Casey's buck, and show us you got the libby app on your phone. These will all give you chances to win a $25 Casey's gift card, so show up from 4pm-5pm to participate!

Our Friends of the Library is challenging our community's teens to a taste test and digital reading challenge! On August 20th from 4-6pm, students going into 9th-12th grade can come in and participate in a blind taste test of various Casey's items, as well as look for Casey's bucks, both that give you a chance at a drawing to win a $25 Casey's gift card!
