Yesterday was our last day of summer reading! And we had a BLAST! We are so thankful for those who contributed to our program, and we LOVE our library kiddos and families! Thank you for participating and helping to make our program a success this year!

Our grand prize winner for our reading contest was Oliver!

Our winner of the art contest was Malikye!

Enjoy pictures of our last two programs below! Last week we created volcanoes, and yesterday we played Silent Library: T-Rex Edition, where our “T-Rex” was blindfolded, and had to tag someone else to be a T-Rex- except the others had to stay silent so they wouldn’t get caught. Of course, a room full of kiddos was anything BUT silent, but we all had the most fun! We love summer reading!!
