They also feasted on hotdogs, chips, gatorade or lemonade, and “build your own” ice cream sundae. The party concluded with drawings for Bingo Blackouts and participating in the summer reading program.

Robots!
On July 13, the library had their last activity time for the summer. Krystal Carr read the story, The Fix-It Man to 10 children. After the story they had the opportunity to see what it was like to be an engineer. Using legos and a computer, they worked together to accomplish a goal of making a robot and getting it to move. Thank you Krystal for the fun activities this summer.
Clowning Around!
On July 10, Janie Score entertained the children with the book, Sweet Dreams, Clown-Around! The story is about the Clown-Around family and their busy and exciting day. The children then dressed up like clowns with a collar they colored, a hat, and finally a big red nose. While dressed up like clowns they played some games and also were treated with some clown toys that Janie Score’s children used to play with. 
Superstar Readers!
Congratulations to Max and Chloe Henn for being Superstar Readers for this week! They are the children of Stacy and Marty Henn. Keep up the good work!
