Perry Memorial Library’s Youth Services Director Melody Peters took a few minutes Tuesday from tending to last-minute summer reading program details to talk about upcoming events that will be taking place soon at the library.
There’s a lot going on at the library, but Peters said she’s especially excited about the summer reading program kickoff. “I am expecting a big crowd – I really am!” she exclaimed on Tuesday’s segment of The Local Skinny!
Readers of all ages and abilities can complete reading journals and turn them in during the summer in exchange for cool prizes.
“Cool” is the name of the game today – the first 200 participants were going to get Pelican Sno Balls.
Library patrons can enjoy a musical performance at the library as part of “Make Music Day” throughout the city and county.
Clarinetist Tristan Beradi, a student at N.C. A&T State University, will perform in the gallery from 12 noon to 1 p.m.
Then, on Sunday afternoon, gather the family and head over to the library for Family Story Time. Peters said she listened to comments from busy parents who just can’t swing a library program during the week. And with sports activities on Saturdays, the only day left is Sunday.
So Peters said she’ll be curious to see how many folks turn out.
“We’re trying it out and hope people come,” she said.
