Presented By

Read Your Way Through Deployment is NOT your “typical Book Club. In this class, you will get to know other spouses who are going through similar experience while discussing the different topics that each book presents. The books serve more as the conversation piece while the real insight occurs through the personal experience of each participant.

In addition to discussing the books and the topics that are touched on, many of the authors have graciously agreed to take part in Skyped Author Chats. Many of them are looking to gain your insight in how you relate to their book!

rock climbing WallMCAS Beaufort Fitness Center

As you begin to rock climb your body will be forced into some positions it may never have visited previously. Rock climbing is made up of a series of reaches with both your hands and feet. New climbers report sore forearms, hands, fingers and calf muscles.

As you begin to learn to reach and stretch your limbs to find the very tiny holds that your fingers and toes will grip desperately in order to stay on the wall, your body will be working to provide balance, coordination and mental focus.

Climbers will quickly begin to develop arm, back, finger and core strength as a result of the many reaches and holds that are repeated over and over through the completion of one climb. Climbers are successful with more difficult ascents only after working to improve the strength and endurance of their calves, shoulders, and core; their agility; strength-to-weight ratio; and flexibility in hips and hamstrings.

Rock climbing is an excellent sport to participate in to increase your level of fitness.

paWS to rEad SUmmEr rEading program 2014

Our theme this year for our Summer Reading Program (SRP) was “Paws to Read”. It ran from 6 June through 1 August. June was a successful first month with over 250 registered patrons. Children, teens and adults tracked their reading progress and logged in over 600 books and 4K pages read!

Our kick-off was held on 7 June with a Hot Dog Roast. Our library was full of parents and children enjoying stories about cats and dogs, making foam sun-visors and having grilled hot dogs and chips. We had over 60 patrons eating lots of good food and having a great time!

The children really enjoyed bringing their favorite stuffed animal for the Parade and Sleep Over on 9 June. Judges picked winners of different stuffed animal categories such as smallest, largest or most spots. After the library closed, the staff was able to capture these mischievous animals getting into silly antics with the libraries’ digital camera.

Our next event, held on 21 June, was a visit by Therapy Dogs International with Dick Hoagland and his staff who shared what this great organization is all about. Five therapy dogs and their handlers attended and after their stories were shared, the kids took turns reading to the dogs.

The library had other activities during the eight weeks of the SRP. Both MCAS and MCRD libraries had a guessing jar where patrons could guess how many doggie treats were in the jar for a prize at the end of the program. There was also a donation box at both bases benefiting the Beaufort Animal Shelter. As of early July, the MCAS Library had already emptied their boxes twice! Patrons could also donate 5 cents for every five books read to the Animal Shelter. We will announce the totals and prize winners in the September Happenings.

All events held during the program have been shared on the MCCS Libraries Facebook page. You can like us on Facebook and see event photos at facebook.com/mccssclibraries. We hope that everyone enjoyed the Summer Reading Program as much as we did. We are looking forward to next year’s program. Remember to bring your completed reading log to school and pick up any prizes by 15 August.
