The Summer Reading Program has finally started and we are so excited to see what this summer holds. We are starting off the program with a visit to the Rochon Sands hall at 10 a.m. today. We will be taking a little trip to the beach where we will be analyzing rocks, bugs, and other earth specimens. At 2 p.m., we will be back at the library for our movie matinee where we will be watching “The Secret of NIMH” and snacking on some tasty popcorn. Later that day teens are invited to come out and watch a movie and enjoy some pizza. It is sure to be a blast.
