IN JULY:
Make a Splash -- The Library's Summer Fun and Reading Program:
In July the library is hosting an activities and reading program for children who will be entering grades grades K - 5 in the fall. The theme of this summer's program is WATER. Each Thursday children will enjoy activities relating to various aspects of water. They are encouraged to set a reading goal and to keep a log of books they read during the month. The program winds up with a "beach party" for children and their families on July 29th.
Youth Services Librarian Nancy Munno shares a book with children during the first session of the program.
Participants and their dad perform an experiment to see what can float in water.
Ethan Miller shows the rain stick he made.
