Library Summer Reading Program

Parker, Eden and I have been participating in the local summer reading program at the library. They have weekly programs for preschoolers and we have also been reading at least 7 books a week to meet our summer reading goal.

Last week, the program was held at a local theater where we got to watch a play geared toward kids. I am not sure Parker grasped the meaning of the play, but I am glad he got some exposure to the theater.

During the play, the actors invited the kids to come on the stage to participate. Surprisingly, Parker was one of the first ones to go down to the stage.

Today was the last weekly program of the summer. A local wildlife park, Fossil Rim, came and talked to the kids about animals. They brought animal skeletons, antlers, ostrich eggs, and zebra skins to show the kids, but the hedgehog and tarantula were the highlights of the program.


Next week is the end of summer party for all of the kids who have been participating this summer. We've really enjoyed the weekly programs and hope the library does this again next summer.
