A Behind the Scenes Look at SummerQuest 2020

Summer is wrapping up at the library. The last day to record your reading minutes is Sunday, August 16. Prizes may be picked up until the end of the month. To see pictures of the raffle prizes click here.

This is usually the time of year that we post pictures from our summer programs at the library. Sadly, because our programs were online and take home, we don’t have pictures of kids participating. If you scroll down to the bottom of this post you can see some of the behind the scenes pictures from this summer.

Cooper enjoyed helping make take home kits.

  So much glue to make take home slime kits!

Yep, Mermaid Learn and Play Live was recorded in the bathroom while Miss Katie was at the beach. It was the only quiet room away from her kids!
