Sea Serpent Fun

On June 17 school age children had fun learning about sea serpents and they made a sea serpent craft.






Family Mini Golf

Mini Golf was on June 16 at 6pm. I had about 47 people participate and I hope that fun was had by all. It seemed like everyone was having a good time. The golf courses were throughout the library. Downstairs in the meeting room I served cookies, chips, and lemonade while everyone was waiting for the program to begin. Hole #1 was in the hallway downstairs. Then you went upstairs to hole #2 down one of the adult fiction aisles. Then you went over the the young adult section for hole #3. Hole #4 was by the picture books, hole #5 was in the children's room, hole #6 was between the easy readers and juvenile mystery books, and hole 7 was over by the juvenile non-fiction. All the kids got a prize at the end.
