We’re winding down the Summer Reading Program, “Read, Renew, Repeat”, but there are still fun events to attend in August! Here’s a round up of our final SRP events! All programs are free and open to the public.
On Thursday, August 1 at 6 p.m., venture into the BeWILDering Woods, a mysterious escape room that challenges participants to piece together the clues and solve the puzzle of the wilderness before time runs out!
August 8 is our SRP Finale at 6.p.m! Bring in your reading logs and receive prizes! We’ll also be doing our annual SRP book basket raffle. This year, in addition to books, we also have vouchers from Berry Fruit Farm for a dozen FREE donuts. Everyone who participated in the Summer Reading Program will receive a certificate, goodie bag, and be entered to win the raffle! Stop by to grab yours, play games, and eat treats!
One of our July programs was rescheduled for Thursday, August 15 at 6 p.m. Join us for a Chopped style “Mystery Bag Challenge”. You will receive a bag of mystery craft elements and you must create something new and innovative with them. Prizes will be awarded so prepare to think outside the bag.
