YOU'RE RIGHT!!!! All three were featured attractions at Arcade Free Library last week!
.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief was the first movie in our 'Third Saturday' Books-to-Movies series. Free to teens and tweens, the movie night includes a discussion centered around the integrity of the interpretation of the book by the film makers. This program is funded in part by a grant from the Wyoming Foundation.
Beach umbrellas were a favorite decoration for cupcakes at the fourth and final Summer Reading event for our K - 3 readers.
Our 4 - 6 readers were charged with becoming Alligator Architects at their final Summer Reading session. They decorated and created Old Swampy from Hello, Cupcake (Tack and Richardson). Then they ate him!!!




Summer Reading @ New York State Libraries is funded through the Federal Library Services and Technology Act with funds awarded to the NYS Libraries by the Federal Institute of Museums and Library Services.
