The summer is just heating up. We have the “half-time report” and then a heads up about the last half of summer.
Summer Reading launched in June with our annual Petting Zoo. We have had programming every Wednesday for youth K-6 from 12-2:00 and then head to Farmers’ Market to offer our Pop-Up Library to our community. We have had numerous special guests so far and have partnered with several local agencies, such as MOSS, 4-H, McPaws, Cascade State Park, University of Idaho, among others.
This summer we also decided to offer three weeks of Camp Library. Camp Library finishes the second week tomorrow and there will be one more opportunity in August. Camp Library ran from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. Monday-Friday for an entire week. The cost was $100 per student. The Junior Friends of the Library gave eighteen scholarships to the teachers at Donnelly Elementary to hand out. Scholarships were given for financial reasons, academic reasons, and some simply because a teacher thought the child might benefit from the opportunity. Our camp has helped to give struggling readers a little extra boost, pre-K students the opportunity to experience a regular school-like schedule, and hours of fun for all.
