Kids + Summer = Library

It's summer time and that means we have lots of kid's programming at the library and lots of kids at the library. These boys decided the library was a great place to come and cool off from the summer heat, but they just as easily could have been in the library for one of a number of programs we have for the summer.

As part of our Family Reading Program we have Summer Activities for children entering grades 1-6 every Tuesday at 2pm. Our last activity is Tuesday, July 27. We are having an end of summer party with cake, games, crafts and did I say cake! We also have family movies every Thursday at 2pm. We will have a movie this Thursday, the 22nd and our last movie will be on July 29th. These movies are fun for the whole family. Bring your pillows and snacks and join us at 2pm in the large meeting room and take a break from the heat.

We also have something brand new this summer. On Tuesdays right after the activity program we have a R.E.A.D. dog come to the library. These are Reading Education Assistance Dogs and they are here from 3-4pm to listen to stories. Any child is welcome to sit and read a story to the dog. They get practice with their reading and the dog gets to listen to a wonderful story. The dogs also revel in the attention that is showered upon them during their visits. Our R.E.A.D. dogs also come to the library on the 3rd Saturday of every month. They are available to listen to stories from 11:30-12:30pm, which is right after our Saturday story time.

So come on in to the library and beat the summer heat with a good book and while you are here take advantage of our fantastic children's summer programming.
