Fizz! Boom!...SOON!

In just a few short weeks, this year's Summer Reading Program will begin! The theme is Fizz! Boom! Read! - and it's all about SCIENCE! Throughout the summer, there will be several chances each week for kids to come to the library, show your reading log, and have a FUN hour of science-related stories and activities!

Our Tuesday evening sessions will run from 6:30-7:30 and be geared to elementary age kids. We will also continue our weekly Story Times on Thursday mornings from 10:45-11:45 and again from 2-3 in the afternoon, with the focus being science-based stories and a related craft which would be appropriate for elementary age or younger children. That said, any age child may attend any of the sessions.
