❇ A Message from Miss Victoria: Summer Recap ❇

This summer was all about Dinosaurs! But, we also dug a little deeper into the Unearth A Story theme with a special visit and an edible way to learn about the soil layers of the Earth. Our summer attendance for programs, including the Grab & Go optional crafts, and online reading log registrations continues to grow each summer. We had dino-mite Reading Goal results, surpassing expectations, and a whole lot of fun! Everyone did a great job! But, the most memorable event was the bringing the Whale Mobile to the Library! I worked towards bringing this special event to the community for a couple of years, and this year tied-in well with the theme. I mean, how else to top our helicopter visit from two years ago, so why not bring an inflatable humpback whale to the Library! I hope your family enjoyed this summer as much as I did. But now that our summer program has ended, there'll be lots to look forward to next year where... Mysteries Await at Your Library! 🕵️‍♀️🔎👀 🦖📚🦕
