We had a "dinosaurific" day today with Jeff Quinn, Magician. We had 25 children attend the program, and we served all of them ice cream at the "What's the Scoop" ice cream truck that parked outside. They loved the magician and, of course, the ice cream and some checked out books, plus we had many new faces. We gave out door prizes, too.
Thanks to everyone for supporting our local library!
Sponsors for the event were: RC Pit Stop, Cornerstone Bank of RC, Jeff and Diane Duren, Bart & Lynne Ruth.

Our 2nd program for our Summer Reading Program was held today, June 16th, and Janessa Rawhouser, Nebraska Extension in Butler County, was our guest presenter, along with her assistant, Olivia.
Janessa read to 16 children the "Fossils Tell Stories" and "Here We Go Digging for Dinosaur Bones" books.
Janessa and Olivia led some craft activities such as making fossil beds with various sized pasta shells, and digging for fossils using M & M cookies. The children had fun eating the cookies afterwards, too.
The library had water balloons and bubbles and two books as door prizes. All children received one door prize. On Thursday of this week we'll have more door prizes.

Next up this week is Thursday, June 18th starting at 1:30 PM with Jeff Quinn, Magician, and after the children finish with the program, we'll have door prizes and everyone attending can have a free ice cream cone/dish compliments of Jeff and Diane Duren. "What's the Scoop" ice cream truck will be serving ice cream at the library from 2:30 - 7:30 PM. Stop by and support their efforts to come to our community!
