Summer Reading at the Library

The Greenville Public Library's Summer Reading Programs this year will be outstanding. Our Librarians have a line-up of events the whole family will enjoy. Again “Family Fun Day” is every Wednesday at 11:00 a.m. starting June 11 and going through to July 30.

Meet on the lawn under the shade trees and bring a blanket or lawn chair! In case of inclement weather the First Congregational Christian Church on 5th Street generously offers their Activity Building. Again “Family Fun Day” is sponsored by generous grants from the Friends of the Library and the Greyson James Steyer Memorial Fund.

On July 16th the Library hosts the Cincinnati Observatory. There will be two programs - one at 11:00 a.m. at “Family Fun Day” and another at 2:00 p.m. In the afternoon the audience will be guided through space utilizing amazing simulation software - stopping at the Moon and planets and going into interstellar space where they will see all the galaxies in the universe!

Then on July 19th the Library is hosting “Dome Theater Planetarium” a state-of-the-art mobile theater system which will present eight museum-quality shows with such titles as “Passport to the Universe” and “Cosmic Collisions.“ More info on these exciting events will be published soon. Be sure to pick up a brochure and follow the Children & Teen pages on Facebook!

Additional Programs are: Lego Club on June 12th and July 10th at 1:30 p.m. for kids ages 6-11 years; Kids movies, “The Iron Giant” on June 28th and “Zathura” on July 12th, both at 1:00 p.m.; Story Times on Tuesdays at 11:00 a.m., ages 4 & up and Thursdays at 11:00 a.m., ages 3 & under.
