For many parents of school-age children, Spring Break offers a reminder that summer’s coming – quickly – and that means lining up vacations, camps and child care for when the kiddos are out of school for a couple of months.
Perry Memorial Library’s Youth Services Librarian Melody Peters wants parents – and their children – to save a spot for the library’s activities this summer – they’re going to be a lot of fun!
“I want people to be thinking about it (now),” Peters said. “I want the library to be a priority.”
This summer’s reading theme is “Unearth A Story,” Peters told WIZS’s Scout Hughes on Tuesday’s segment of The Local Skinny!
The regular programs and story times are all embracing the theme, and Peters said she and the staff are planning to have weekly activities that include dinosaurs, paleontology and archaeology.
“It’s a great theme,” Peters said. “You can do so much with it…it’ll be busy all summer!”
The Summer Reading kickoff is Tuesday, June 16 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and continues through the end of July.
The library will host several special programs during the summer on Tuesdays. First up is Big Bang Boom! a group of dads who play kids’ music.
“They’re a fan favorite,” Peters said. “They do a fantastic job.” You know it’s a hit when the grownups in the audience are clapping and singing along with the young people, she said.
