Limestone Township Library District Hosting Ruel's Reps on Saturday

 

We are very excited about our Summer Reading program called “Where Wild Wonders Awaits!”

Every week we will explore different types of animals from water creatures to forest animals to domesticated animals. We will have crafts and activities, movie days and field trips.

Summer Reading begins on Saturday, June 14 with a Kick-Off Party taking place on Saturday, June 14 at 12:00 Noon. Ruel’s Reps will be here to present their collection of reptiles. And there will be a host of festival activities.

You must sign up for Summer Reading in order to attend this event.

Registration has started. Sign-up sheets can be found in the library or on our website. You can drop off your registration sheet at the library or email it to hkeene@limestonelibrary.org.

Our log sheets have fish to color in for every 20 minutes that you spend reading. Tickets for the raffle baskets are given for every 20 minutes that you spend reading!

Summer reading is open to people of all ages (including adults!) You do not need a library card to participate. But having one gives you access to all the library’s physical materials and E-resources.

We look forward to seeing you all summer long.
