CHILDRENS SUMMER READING PROGRAM

This summer our KIDS Summer reading program was very well attended, the theme this year was MAKE A SPLASH AT YOUR LIBRARY. The children read over 250 books, with a grant from the State Library’s KIDS, BOOKS and THE ARTS, we had Simon Brooks, storyteller, come to visit, he offered a workshop for the kids to learn about being a storyteller. We also had a program with the support of the Moosilauke Library entitled, MAD SCIENCE, where the kids learned all about the difference between MAGIC and SCIENCE. All had a great time. Our final program was LETS GO FISHING, a program offered through the NH Fish and Game. We had 9 kids and their parents signed up for a 3 hours workshop, where they learned about how to fish, they practiced casting, and what you need to be a safe fisherman. On Saturday August 7th we went up to Beaver Brook pond on Lost River ROAD and got to go fishing. Paul, the instructor said that if there are girls in the class, they will be the first to catch a fish, and SHE DID.
All the participants received their very own FISHING LICENSE.
Thanks to all the businesses that offered incentives to the kids Clark's Trading Post--Hobo Railroad--Lincoln Cinema IV--Storyland--Ice Cream Delights--Monkey Trunks--Alpine adventures.
