Summer Reading Kicks Off

Paws Claws Scales & Tales summer reading for ages 0-9 kicked off on Tuesday June 27 with a Pet Craft Program that was fun for all ages. We had approximately 30-35 children join us at the library to design food bows for their pets, boxes for their bugs, fish to decorate the house with, and cat masks to wear. Some of the older (and very talented) participants learned how to make their own dog out of a balloon. Everyone took home a new pet or two. Thank you to everyone who attended and made this program a success.
Creature Feature summer reading for ages 10-18 kicked off with a competitive game of backyard Harry Potter Quidditch. We had 21 children participate in 6 Quidditch matches. It was great fun for all of us! All of the children enjoyed water bottles, chocolate frogs, and Berti Bott's Every Flavored Beans donated by the Friends of the PCPL, as well as some friendly competition. I saw some very creative brooms (decorated pool noodles) brought to play on as well as a few competitors who came dressed in their capes. Thank you to everyone who played, and especially to one young man who I overheard ask his Mom as they were leaving "can I go check out a book" who made my day! If you have come by the library to pick up your paperwork to participate in this years summer reading program that is wonderful we are looking forward to seeing you again. If you have not don't fear you still can - we are just getting started so stop by and join the fun! ~ Sara
