Imagination Celebration and Summer Reading
Imagination Celebration certainly made a splash this year, in more ways than one! Despite the stormy weather, this year's celebration to kickoff summer reading was a success. We had over twenty families attend and enjoy relay races, swimming, and snacks. Several children also signed up for this year's summer reading program, "Make a Splash-Read!" PALS would like to thank everyone who attended, all of our hardworking volunteers, and our sponsors.
Speaking of summer reading, now is the time to sign-up for what promises to be an exciting program. Children of all ages are welcome to participate. Miss Amanda has lots of fun activities, entertaining guests, and wonderful prizes lined up for the summer, including the best prize of all, reading! You can sign your child up in the Children's Department. And this year's summer reading program culminates with a fantastic finale safari on July 29th at 6:00 p.m.
