* THE TEMPEST:

Sat., June 1 at 1 p.m.

Waldorf Theatre Company from Waldorf College in Forest City, Iowa, presents a free 45-minute presentation

of William Shakespeare's The Tempest. A story of freedom, repentance, and forgiveness, the play centers

on the magician Prospero and his daughter Miranda. Banished to a deserted island, Prospero uses magic to

conjure a storm and ship wreck the men responsible for his banishment on the same island. Various plots

against the main characters fail throughout the play, with all forgiven in the end. Kick off Summer Reading

by joining us for this special presentation!

SUMMER READING PROGRAM

The Adult Summer Reading Program is "Groundbreaking Reads," and runs from June 1 through Aug. 31. To participate, you must be 18 years of age or older, and have a valid Hammond Public Library card. Sign up starting June 1 to receive a reading log.

Read or listen to 7 books of your choosing, and enter the titles on the log. When the log is completed, turn it in at the Circulation Desk to receive an entry into the Summer Reading prize drawing. You may complete as many logs as you wish, up to 12 logs.

Logs must be turned in no later than 4 p.m. on Saturday, August 31, to receive credit. The winner will be announced by Friday, September 6.
