SUMMER READING FUN FOR ALL AGES

Excitement and fun are in store for those who take part in the Garmisch Library Summer Reading Program. During the months of June and July, the library will host a variety of free activities for children of all ages to encourage and support a love of reading. Required registration begins at the library on Tuesday, June 13.

‘READ BY DESIGN’ Grades K-5

Wednesdays, 10 a.m.

June 21 & 28, July 5 & 12 Summer Reading Program for children entering grades K-5 is designed to inspire readers to aim for peak performance and avoid “summer slide,” or diminished reading skills.

We’ll have plenty of fun activities, crafts and storytimes wrapped around rocket ships, inventions & robots. The program is simple: you read books and earn prizes! Children grades 5 and below must be accompanied by a caregiver.

‘READ-TO-ME’ Pre-School Storytime

‘TEEN READ’ Grades 6 and up

Thursdays, 10:30 a.m.

June 22 & 29, July 6 & 13 Read-to-Me is for pre-readers ages 5 and under featuring four weekly read aloud storytimes. Children keep track of the time a parent, friend or older sibling reads to them. Get the whole family involved and read together this summer.

Wednesdays, 10 a.m.

June 21 & 28, July 5 & 12 Teen Read is a self-driven reading event. Join like-minded teens at the library weekly for inspiration or read alone. Vote at registration for a movie viewing finale. Keep track of all the time you read and you might just win a prize to boot!

BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP

Tuesday, July 25, 7 p.m.

Hag-seed by Margaret Atwood is William Shakespeare’s The Tempest retold as a prison drama. Felix, living on the outskirts, is a defunct director stewing in his resentment over the loss of his beloved Shakespeare Festival & his daughter, Miranda.

Twelve years later, a prison theatre course avails itself. Will it bring retribution and a second chance? Books available at the library.

LEISURE TRAVEL EXPLORE. DREAM. DISCOVER. MUNICH: THE DARK TOUR

JUNE 2 & 4 This is the most ambitious introduction to the dark period of Munich’s history offered by any tour company! The tour starts with a two and ½ hour video and lecture about the rise of the Third Reich under Adolf Hitler in the city of Munich. On the following Sunday, take the train to Munich and walk the route of the “Bier Hall Putsch” and see sites associated with this darkest period of Munich’s history. Price: $45/adult

THE GORGE AND POOL TOUR

JUNE 3 One of the most beautiful natural sights in Garmisch-Partenkirchen is the Partnach Gorge. It is beautiful in every season and serves as our “mini Grand Canyon” without quite the influx of visitors! The Alpspitze Wellenbad is the town’s largest pool, and the best spa in the local area. There are three saunas, a steam bath, Jacuzzis, warm pools, cold pools, diving pools, an Olympic pool, salt pools, salt treatments, eating and drinking areas, a bar, numerous lounging areas, a “textile free area” and just about everything you might want to experience during the most relaxing day of your life. This 7 hour tour includes the walking tour and entrance to the pool and the gorge. Price: Gorge and Pool $30/person; Pool alone $26/ person; Gorge alone $10/person; Children under 12 are ½ price

OPERA, CONCERT, BALLET AND THEATRE TRIPS TO MUNICH

JUNE 6 On many evenings throughout the year, Garmisch residents travel by train to one of the world’s great opera houses: Munich’s Nationaltheater.

There we witness cutting edge drama in the form of Opera and Ballet.

Witness Rachmaninoff and Mahler’s 5th Symphony, a sweeping odyssey written at the turn of the 20th century.

Price: contact Outdoor Recreation for more information. Not appropriate for children under 12

THERME ERDING - “WATER WORKS”

JUNE 10 Therme Erding is the largest spa in Europe! Ever since Texaco went drilling for oil in Erding and discovered geo-thermal hot water instead, this town has become a destination for people who just want to enjoy the most relaxing day that they have ever experienced. The park has fourteen water slides (some of them longer than three American football fields), twentyfive saunas differing in temperature and humidity, massages, relaxation areas and pools of every description.

Transportation included. Spa entry not included. Price: $15/adult

~ Mark Twain

PARTENKIRCHEN HISTORIC WALKING TOUR

JUNE 14 Partenkirchen, the older of the two sides of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, has a wealth of historic sights. Highlights include the “Plague Chapel” put up during the Thirty Years’ War, beautiful frescoes, the State School for Woodworking, the Partenkirchen Kurpark and some wonderful stories about Ludwig the Bavarian, Henry the Lion and St. Mark. Rain or shine, this trip will go! Price: $10/adult, free for children under 12

NUREMBERG

JUNE 16-18 Though still in Bavaria, Nuremberg is the history-soaked capital of Franconia. It is home to the Imperial Castle, a famous Market Square with a church and Glockenspiel, and the famous churches of Saint Sebald and Saint Lorenz. Witness the monumental grandiosity of the Documentation Center, which focuses on pre-World War II Nuremberg, when it was the scene of the racist prohibitions known as the Nuremberg Laws, the great Nazi Party Rallies and the famous Nuremberg Trials. Transportation, hotel accommodation and breakfast included. Price: $250/person, $45/ single supplement per night, $125/ child
