The “Building a Better World” theme for this year’s library summer reading program was carried out with the building of cup towers during the kick-off event last week.
Arts and crafts were among the activities at the kick-off event.
A kick-off would not be complete with out bounce houses and a bouncy obstacle course.
MEIGS COUNTY — The Meigs County Public Library Summer Reading Program kicked-off last week with its opening event at the Racine Library.
The kick-off event included a bounce house and obstacle course from Meigs Inflatables, construction activity stations, appearances from Moana and Spiderman, and an Ohio Division of Wildlife representative. Plus, free lunch was served to children attending.
This was the first of a series of programs offered weekly from June 5 through July 22.
Reading incentives and prizes will be awarded this summer, while supplies last. The first 100 children to attend three programs receive a “Build a Better World” t-shirt.
