SUMMER READING CHALLENGE WRAP-UP |
|
|
|
There are only 10 days left in our Summer Reading Challenge. So if you haven't yet earned all three of your books, there's still time to earn another by finishing your 600 minutes of reading or attending some library events and completing your bingo card.
Next week we'll be celebrating this year's Summer Reading Challenge with our wrap-up parties. There will be performances, snacks, and fun, and you can pick up the books you earned. |

Quad Event: Life is a Highway |
|  |
Thursday, July 28, 3-6pm
Celebrate the summer and your love for music and cars at the Quad. You'll be using our vinyl cutter and clamshell heat press to make a music or car-themed tote bag. Bring in a few images to choose from on a flash drive or your phone. Silhouette images or close up faces centered in your photos will work the best for this project. Try to avoid anything too busy. If you can't decide on a picture, we'll have a few ready to go, so don't let that stop you from learning at the Quad!
Registration is required, and there are only a few spots left.
