Summer reading 2008 has started. On Wednesday, June 4th the library had it’s annul “seed spitting’ contest and summer reading sign-up.
Kids were put into age groups and they lined up to spit seeds. The ones who spit the furthest in each age group received a small prize.
Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. Gary Ross, entomologist, The Bug Guy was at the Richmond Community Building to talk about bugs. Gary was very informal and kids & adults were allowed to ask questions when they thought of one to ask. The library was very grateful to Gary for coming to Richmond to give this program for us.
After the seed spitting the kids signed up for the program, checked out books and had cookies. The next event is on Monday for the middle-high school kids @ 4:00, they will be making no-sew bandana bags. The younger kids will be painting small stained glass [plastic] insects on Thursday @ 2:00
