Great summer ... and we did go wild! Thank you to all our TD Summer Reading Club participants for making our summer fun and memorable! We did lots of crazy games and fun crafts, challenged each other at the Bike Rodeo, did some amazing art with Painting @ the Green Square, got lost and found ourselves in the woods with the Search & Rescue program and shot some arrows at the shooting range! The End of SRC party was great fun too! Thank you all for dropping by! Remember that you still have time to drop your reading log off by August 31st, 2016 for a chance to win one of our amazing prizes!
