Approximately 35 children and parents stopped by the library park after school to play some book-related games like Library Jingo and Buggy About Books.  The temperature was  perfect for our treat of caramel apples!  The wind made the games a little tricky, but we had fun and everyone got prizes anyway.  We acted out a story called
The Great Ball Game" and then dug into caramel apples and coloring a pennant that said, "Get in the Game... Read!"

You can see a few more photos by going to the library's FaceBook page.  Follow the link at the top of this page.
