The Summer Reading Program for June, 2022 ended with a big splash on Wednesday, June 29, 2022.
The event began with craft stations and games, a hamburger lunch with all the trimmings, presentations of prizes for reading the most books this summer, and culminated with a swimming tank and a giant water slide.
The annual reading program through the month of June encourages young people ages 4 to 12 to explore books. The children may get a library card free of charge and learn how to use the library.
The theme of this year’s program was “Oceans of Possibilities”. Special guests included Walter’s World of Pets and the Science Spectrum, Cali the Scuba Diver, and Toni Meredith entertained the children with music and demonstrations. The children were also encouraged to read aloud to the others.
Prizes were awarded to the program participants who read the most books this summer. Ages groups were 4 to 6, 7 to 9 and 10 to 12.
First prize winners of a new bicycles were:
-Poppy Demel ages 4 to 6
