As part of each weekly theme, we will have a special program as well as a coordinating craft every Wednesday. We will also have drop in challenges every week that the kids can try to complete. If they complete at least 5 of the 8 challenges, they get their name in for a special prize drawing. These are the special programs I have scheduled and confirmed so far:

Every Wednesday at 2pm
Crafts with Miss Cathy
Every Monday at 6:00pm
Storytime Under the Stars
Friday, June 9th at 1pm
“World of Wildlife” with Blank Park Zoo
Tuesday, June 13th at 2pm
Garden Stones with Benton County Master Gardener, Therese Elliff
Tuesday, June 20th at 2pm

Tuesday, July 11th at 2pm
“The Building of Bugs” with the ISU Insect Zoo
Tuesday, July 18th at 2pm
Visit from the Blairstown Ambulance

We will be incorporating literacy into this as well and the kids will have the opportunity to read up to five books, with each book completed giving them a chance at a different special prize drawing. My goal for this summer is getting the kids actively engaged with the library through learning experiences, while also promoting literacy and fun.

Finally, our summer hours (which begin June 1st) are as follows:
Monday 10am-6pm
Tuesday 1pm-6pm
Wednesday 1pm-7pm
Thursday 1pm-6pm
Friday 1pm-6pm
