IS A MAP.THE END OF ANOTHER SCHOOL YEAR.
BROUGHT NEARLY 900 KIDS, TEENS AND ADULTS TO GRAND PRAIRIE'S MAIN LIBRARY WHERE EVERYONE WAS INVITED TO GET A MAP AND BEGIN A QUEST THAT LEADS TO THE 2024 SUMMER READING CLUB.
OUR THEME THIS YEAR IS ADVENTURE BEGINS AT YOUR LIBRARY.
SO WHAT BETTER WAY TO KICK OFF ADVENTURE BEGINS AT YOUR LIBRARY WITH A BIG FANTASY THEMED KICKOFF PARTY COMPLETE WITH ALL KINDS OF UNIQUE AND FAMILY FRIENDLY ADVENTURES, LIKE PLAY AREAS FEATURING INDOOR BOUNCE CASTLES, ADVENTURE THEMED GAMES, DRAGON EGG DECORATING, MAKE IT AND TAKE IT CROWNED, CUSTOM MADE BUBBLE SOURCE.
THERE YOU ARE, PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES WITH FAMOUS LITERARY CHARACTERS.
TWO, THREE, A COMMUNITY ART PROJECT, AND EVEN THE CHANCE TO JOIN IN ON A UKULELE SING-ALONG.
AND OF COURSE, THERE ARE ALSO PLENTY OF READING LOGS AVAILABLE TO HELP INSPIRE EVERYONE TO KEEP DOING JUST THAT ALL SUMMER LONG.
ONE OF OUR BIG REASONS FOR DOING THIS IS WE WANNA COMBAT THAT SUMMER SLIDE WHERE KIDS, UM, THEY'RE NOT IN SCHOOL SO THEY, THEY MAY REGRESS.
UM, BUT NOT JUST THAT, WE ALSO WANNA MAKE SURE THAT KIDDOS ARE GETTING TO SOCIALIZE AND THAT EVEN ADULTS ARE BEING ABLE TO ENGAGE WITH THEIR COMMUNITY.
AND SO WE LOVE THE IDEA OF THE LIBRARY BEING THAT HUB FOR THAT SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND THAT SENSE OF EDUCATION, LEARNING, AND JUST FUN FOR EVERYONE.
SRC 2024 IS UNDERWAY AT ALL THREE GRAND PRAIRIE LIBRARY LOCATIONS AND CONTINUES THROUGH AUGUST 31ST.
