More Summer Reading
The Richmond Public Library Summer Reading Program is still going along pretty fast. The kids have something to do every week, sometimes more than once a week. Since the last post we have had Father’s Day craft [with duct tape], a Twilight party [we only got half way through the movie because a storm hit], 
the kids did sand art bottle and we had a guest who had watched real sand art bottle being made, the middle &high school kids did Fortune Telling [they had a blast with this],
Ottawa Music came down and showed us instruments [which the kids were allowed to play with]. That was the end of June. Up next the July stuff, it will be just as busy.

Summer Reading so Far….
Well it’s been a week and our summer reading program is off and running. So far we have 19 adults, 25 middle & high school and 36- 5th grand and under.
So far we have ‘Spit Seeds’, had a Game Day, Painted Pictures, had a painting class with our local artist Mary Hall, and we gave Henna Tattoos and we painted sun catchers. The kids have been having a blast and the librarians are running around trying to keep everything running smoothly.
But what a summer we have planned. Next up?? Father’s Day crafts June17th & 18th.

Next up- Philippines on August 4th.…
Library Flowers
Each year the library gets flowers donated by the local Modern Woodman of American [MWA] Tiny Tots group. So happens that some of our story hour kids are also MWA kids, so the kids get to plant the flower boxes.
This year a board member donated different flower boxes, which were repainted and are now displayed in front of the library with the flowers the kids planted in them.
The flowers just make everything look so much brighter, and the kids love planting them.…
