Adventure is at Limestone Township Library District This Summer

 



Adventure is at Limestone Township Library District This Summer

We are having a great time during this year’s Summer Reading Program at Limestone Township Library!

We have nearly 300 community members signed up to read for the summer. And they have read over 87,000 minutes by the third week. Our goal is to read 120,000 minutes during the five weeks of summer reading and we are nearly there.

Make sure to turn in your completed reading logs of 500 minutes to qualify for the Finale and earn tickets to put in the boxes for the prize baskets.

We are filling our weeks with plenty of activities. There is never a moment that you cannot find something of interest.

Friday Take and Make kits features a Patriotic Playdough Kit on Friday, July 5. Pick one up for your child with the necessary parts and take it home to make at a time good for you. Supplies are limited.

Do you like succulent gardens but cannot keep them alive? Kids who are 11- 18 years old can join us for a Rock Cactus Planter craft in which we will paint rocks to look like cactus and arrange them in a pot. Finally, a plant you will never have to water. There is no fee for this program, all supplies are included.
