YOUTH SERVICES SUMMER LIBRARY PROGRAM

Thank You!

Thanks to the 762 (!!) people who visited the library the day of the Youth Services Summer Library Kickoff Party. Both youth (139 that day alone!) and adults (42 that day!) registered as summer readers, and all are still welcome to sign up!

The Library is going to ROCK this summer, with lots of local talent helping with our programs -- singers, musicians, rock and gem experts, drummers, zoologists, actors and actresses, and more! The Youth Midway Party includes a visit with animals from the Columbus Zoo. The Youth Finale & Prize Reveal includes a sneak peek performance of The Little Mermaid by the Charleston Light Opera Guild, and awarding of the 108 prizes from the now famous Wall of Prizes.

Additional details (including how to reserve a seat for the Midway and Finale parties) are in the summer reading packet. We hope to see your family soon!
