Sizzling Summer Saturdays!
We start the month out on Saturday, July 3, at 10 am at the library with a Sea Serpent Party! Explore the mythological sea creatures that almost resemble enormous snakes through stories and games and then create your own sea serpent. Saturday, July 10, at 10 am we will be at the Lake Delton School to learn about life “At the Water’s Edge.” Join us to discover wetlands, river banks, lake fronts and the animals and birds that live there through stories, games and other fun activities. Saturday July 17 at 10 a.m. is movie day. This month’s movie is Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief., based on the first book in Rick Riordan’s popular series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians. In this installment, a teenager discovers he's the descendant of a Greek god and sets out on an adventure to settle an on-going battle between the gods.The bookshave been blockbuster bestsellers among kids and adult readers alike. Join us to see what all the excitement is about. Saturday, July 24 is our craft Saturday. Supplies will be provided from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! It’s not too late to celebrate National Ice Cream Month! Saturday July 31st at 10:00 is Family Fun at KPL. Bring the family for crafts, games and of course ice cream!
