Summer Reading Kickoff & Ice Cream Social!
Monday, June 1, 6:30-8:30 p.m.
It’s a party! Join us for the most anticipated library event of the year, our FREE Ice Cream Social to kick-start our Summer Reading Program, “Plant a Seed: Read!”

Join your neighbors to enjoy ice cream and vegan treats from Winfield Creamery, embark on a scavenger hunt, and take part in a magic show!

The Bad Seed, the Cool Bean, and the Good Egg Scavenger Hunt
Kids may pick up a list at the library table and search for images placed around the library grounds. Complete the hunt and receive a sticker or temporary tattoo.

John Measner’s Traveling Truck Magic Show
7:00–7:30 p.m. & 7:45–8:15 p.m.
Combining talent, wit, and charm, professional magician John Measner delights audiences with his blend of magic, comedy, and illusion.

Please park at St. John the Baptist, located at 0S233 Church Street. Bring a lawn chair or blanket for the magic show in the library parking lot. In case of rain, the two magician shows will be held indoors.
