On August 11^th we had our End of the Summer Party and the kids had a ton of fun with the different actives. We ate pizza, had floats and cookies to eat and then it was time to draw for all the wonderful prizes that we had to give away. We also ended the summer giving away two backpacks (one Ninja Turtle and one Frozen) that were full of school supplies. A huge Thank You to Andrew at Cenex for suppling the pizza to us at half price!!!

On August 4th we enjoyed the theme of Flying. The weather was pretty cool and damp so we held our activities inside. After a few stories the kids flew rockets threw some hoops to win sundaes and then it was time for the main event. The kids painted canvases with fly swatters!!! They had a ton of fun and didn’t make near the mess I thought they would.

We had another fabulous Storytime on July 28th when Jeff Quinn from Omaha NE came to amaze us with magic tricks!!! I am still wondering how he pulled off some of his tricks.  A huge thank you to Amie V. for coming over to take the photos and all the kids who volunteered and helped with the performance.

We had another fabulous Storytime when we started back up again on July 21st!!! We read a couple classic books including the Little Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly. Then we moved over to the Court House lawn and used our memory skills to find all 8 animals that she swallowed and velcro them in order on our paint stick. Then it was back to the Library to have them checked and receive a backpack and some healthy snacks. A SUPER HUGE shout out to Ann E. for volunteering weekly and spending months painting the sticks, adding velcro and cutting/laminating over 400 little animals, she was a trooper!!! Thank you Amie V. for coming over to take the photos and to Marian S., Audra Y, Ann E., Sydney N., Landon S. and Ozzie S. for helping during the activity!!!

On June 30th we had had an amazing storyteller, Michael Gallo, join us!!! The kids made up for the cloudy skies with their contagious laughter. A huge thank you to our volunteers Pastor Barb and Marian S.
