Included in the Libraries of Noble County organization, NCPL again participated in the 11th annual KidCity event held at the Noble Coun-ty Fairgrounds in August. In keeping with this year’s booth theme, “Winter in August”, partici-pants played in artificial snow,

checked out an igloo made of plastic jugs, read winter-themed books and made

snowmen from homemade molding dough. They also received an ice pop. KidCity serves as a place to educate and inspire youth from all over northeast Indiana. The event is staged in a pseudo-city made up of five neighborhoods. Each neighbor-hood is filled with fun, tangible learn-ing experiences for tots through mid-dle-school kids and their families. Look for it next year!
