The kickoff of Orange Beach Public Library's inaugural Adult Summer Reading Program was a success with visitors and locals alike. Participants learned about the Japanese art of Gyotaku and were able to practice this art of fish painting on fresh fish provided by local fishermen. "Master the Art of Reading", the 2009 Adult Summer Reading Program is open to adults ages 18 and older, and offers programs, prizes and hands-on creative opportunities. No minimum reading requirements and no artistic talent or previous knowledge necessary. All programs are free of charge, but reservations are required.
The Adult Summer Reading program continues through the end of July, and we will feature one evening activity Thursday, July 9, 2009 at 6:00 p.m. - Simple Bookbinding. For more information, call the library at 981-2923, or check out our Website at www.orangebeachlibrary.org.
