With springtime programming now in the rear-view mirror, the staff at Perry Memorial Library is taking a little bit of a pause, but Youth Services Librarian Melody Peters said it’s not much of a breather. After all, they’ve got to decorate the library for summertime programs.
Plus, there’s a whole dinosaur to build.
Between February and April, the library presented 94 programs for 2,100 participants, and Peters said she expects a big turnout for programs, including the Summer Reading Program.
This year’s theme is “Unearth A Story,” and the kickoff is Tuesday, June 16 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. The reading program will feature dinosaurs and paleontology – hence, the dinosaur construction. Peters said she’s still deciding whether it’s going to be a brontosaurus or a brachiosaurus. Either way, it’s going to be pretty big.
Peters invites families to come on in to the library and register for the summer reading program so they can put it on their calendars.
“You can fill up a calendar pretty quickly with some library programs,” she said on Tuesday’s segment of The Local Skinny!
“It’s about being intentional,” she said, adding that she wants families to make regular library visits a priority, especially during the summer.
“Get the kids involved, get them engaged…when you put it in your calendar, you’ll show up.”
