2018 SRP Kickoff Party

The 2018 Summer Reading Program Kickoff Party took place on Saturday, June 2 at the Ironton branch.  We had over 60 people show up for this awesome event!  We had to change things around a little bit because of the storm that blew in, but we had a blast!  Attendees signed up for the Summer Reading Club, played Minute-to-Win-it Games, painted sun catchers, enjoyed some live music by the Jones family, line dancing with Melia, and free BBQ from the Arcadia Valley BBQ Society.  Our door prize winner was Oliver and he received a gift certificate for a free slab of baby back ribs from Ruble’s Meat Market.

Closing Party!

We wrapped up the Summer Reading Program with closing parties at each of the branches.  The branches that had a Dino O’Dell performance the first week had a craft that the rest of the branches did at the opening party.  It was an Earth Mobile and on the hearts they wrote or drew pictures of what they think “builds a better world.”  The rest of the time was spent playing Minute to Win It games and playing with play-doh, magna tiles, legos, K’nex kits, and at Bourbon, a giant parachute.  The branches with smaller attendance had face painting as well.  All in all, it was a blast and I think everyone had fun.
