Library Summer Reading

Friday, Aug. 8, was Game Day at Sankey Park for Sweet Home Library’s Summer Reading Program participants. This summer’s theme is “Level Up at Your Library,” which any serious game player will understand. Children on Friday created their own table games.

The Summer Reading Program continues at 10 a.m. Friday, Aug. 15, with a Battle of the Books trivia challenge Sankey. Also, “MINECRAFT: The Movie” will be shown at 8 p.m. on Aug. 15 at the park. On Aug. 22, a Water Fight Day will be held at 10 a.m. at the park, followed by a showing of “Critters” for teens (13-19) from 6 to 8 p.m. at the library.

Also, a Community Read with author Lana Holden, a local teacher and author, will be held at 6 p.m. on Aug. 14 at the library. The Summer Reading Program will wrap up Aug. 29 with prizes, and a bunch of other fun stuff.
