 Celebrating Fall With New Programs at the Library

by Jenisa Harris

Foam Party

The weather isn’t cool, and the leaves aren’t changing color, but we are celebrating the fall season as we begin our fall programs at the library. We enjoyed a fun and busy Summer Reading season. With many participants! We beat our goal of reading 100,000 pages during Summer Reading! We celebrated with an epic, Foam Zone in Central Park! Our end of the Summer Reading Celebration was generously donated by Washington State Bank. 

We also kicked off our FriYAY Funday’s this week. Every early out Friday the library will host a free early out program for grades K-12^th. The program will change weekly, we will rotate between, Movie Madness, Block Party, and Tinker Lab.
