Summer Reading Celebrations Set for August 17th With Tie Dying, Prize Drawings and More

The Library holds two parties on Saturday for the conclusion of our Adult Summer Reading, Children's Summer Reading and the Teen Loot Box Programs! First up for the kids is a tie-dying, ice cream party in Library Park. From 11 am to 1 pm, everyone who earned at least one prize for their reading is invited to celebrate by making a tie-dye t-shirt. If you didn't earn a prize, you can still partake in the ice cream!The winner of our Library Loot Boxes grand prize, a Nintendo Switch OLED, will be announced at noon. This annual literacy program for teens 12-18 is made possible by the Town Pump Charitable Foundation. Don’t worry-Loot Box readers do not need to be present to win. Youth Summer Reading is made possible by the Great Falls Public Library Foundation, and Marshall Orthodontics. Library Loot Boxes are made possible by a Keep Kids Reading Grant from the Town Pump Charitable Foundation. Thank you!Later, we'll have another celebration just for the adults with a food truck, prizes and more! From 5 to 8 pm at Annie's Tap House, 112 Central Ave., the Adult Summer Reading program concludes with an end of season party! For every pint of beer sold, a dollar comes back to the Library. We will be drawing the winners for all of the Summer Reading Prizes at this event. We will also have some Library Trivia to win some awesome prizes with! Live music will be provided by Haeli Allen. The music is sponsored by TDS Fiber.The first 34 guests can get a free voucher for Mexican food provided by Taqueria Ibarra, as well. The 17th is also the final day to submit your Adult Summer Reading Bingo Cards for your tote bag, or to put your name in the drawing for the Blackout Bingo Card prizes.
