2017 Summer Reading is Coming!
It all starts May 30: two months full of reading and fun as we Build a Better World!
This summer, a variety of events and activities return for babies, children, teens, adults & all ages in June and July. Story times, art days, LEGO™ Clubs, movie nights, the Family Adventure Challenge and Rolling Hills Zoo all return for 2017. For more information on returning programs, click here.
New this year are three levels of Library Makers, programs sponsored by the Smoky Valley Community Foundation. For the very youngest, there will be Messy Makers events, special sessions of Tales for Tots and Books & Babies Story Time programs that focus on more in-depth hands-on learning. Both Tots and Babies will have water sensory days; Tots will also have Kinetic Sand sensory days. For Kindergarten – Sixth Grade, there will be Library Makers events in the new Makerspace, a new addition to the Library featuring both new and recycled materials available for crafting and building challenges. Some projects will be “Make & Take,” others will be “Leave at the Library.” For 5th & 6th Grades, there will be Library Maker Circuitry events building projects with Snap Circuits.
Also new is A Taste of Travel for adults, Wednesdays at 7PM on June 7 & July 5. Light snacks native to our destination will be served along with a television travel log and discussion. In June, we will visit Israel; in July, we will travel to Italy.
See you at the Library in June & July for a summer of reading and fun as we build a better world!
