📖 It may had been a rainy 🌧 day outside today, but we had a very sunny 🌞 atmosphere in our library. We had a wonderful group join in our monthly Story Time. In addition to our Story Time together, the children enjoyed engaging in a fun paint craft. 🎨

Thanks to everyone who braved the rain to spend time at our library. 📚

📚☀️ Summer is almost here, and we’ve been hard at work preparing for this year’s Summer Reading Program!

As many of you know, a lot of planning and creativity happens behind the scenes long before the program officially begins — including designing and creating our colorful Summer Reading displays.

This year, we’re inviting our young patrons to join in the fun! 🎨✂️

We are excited to announce our Great Day of Decorating on Thursday, June 11th! Children ages 5 through teens are invited to help us decorate displays and work on fun craft related projects that will brighten up the library for summer.

Here’s how to participate:
✅ Contact the library to sign up so we can make sure we have enough projects for everyone.
✅ Stop by on June 11th anytime between 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM.
✅ Stay as long as you’d like during that time frame while helping us create something beautiful!

We truly appreciate all the children who volunteer their creativity and time to help make our Summer Reading Program extra special. Be sure to sign up soon and share this post to help spread the word. 🌟
