The Summer Reading Program has kicked-off at Perry Memorial Library and Youth Services Librarian, Melody Peters has the community prepared and excited for what’s to come this summer.
To start off the program, children can head to the library to see Rupert! A Dinosaur that the library staff has been working diligently on since planning began for the program just over a month ago. Children can also pick up their summer reading log to fill out as the summer moves on.
Rupert ties into the summer reading theme “Unearthing A Story,” Peters told WIZS’s Scout Hughes on Tuesday’s segment of The Local Skinny!
In addition to the start of the summer reading program, Donuts with Dad will make its way to the Library as children, along with their Dad, Granddads, or Father Figures, take part in a morning filled with delicious donuts, a Dinomite storytime, and quality time with Dad on Saturday June 20th from 10:30am-11:30am.
Then on Sunday, which is also Father’s Day, join Perry Memorial Library for a musical celebration! When the library participates in Make Music Day at the library from 1:30pm-3pm. Hands-on activities including a make-and-take egg shaker will be included.
Tuesday, June 23rd will be filled with activities for everyone as the Big Bang Boom! Group from Greensboro will head to the library for some educational children’s music that is sure to be a good time!
Later that day at 4pm and 6pm, Donna Washington, a well-known, multiple award winning storyteller artist and author, will inspire and entertain her audience with performances made possible by a grant from the Vance County Arts Council.
“We are so grateful for our partners,” Peters said. “We have so many people to thank.”
