Summer Reading Kick-off

Saturday, June 29th from 11 am – 2 pm

Please join us to welcome our new Fairy Tale Garden and to learn about and register for Summer Reading programs and events!

Local musician Tom Hanford will be there to provide us with music for the festivities.

Suzanne McGovern, an author from Pine Plains, NY, will be joining us to share her “Gator” stories with us. They are based on her horse, who is also a denizen of Pine Plains.

We’ll also have a crafts table, where you can make an edible “Make-N-Take” craft with your child, make a “Pet Plant” to take home for the summer,or bring a favorite white tee shirt (or another white article of clothing) to tie dye!

We look forward to seeing everyone, and we are really looking forward to a busy and fun summer of reading and fun!
