Summer Reading Program Certificate Party Made a Splash!
More than 150 children and their accompanying family members celebrated their summer reading achievement on August 19 at Langley Center featuring a five-time world record juggler David Cousin's exciting and fun-filled program. The refreshments included cupcakes, gold fish cookies and punch drinks.
This year's Summer Reading Program was from June 28 through August 5 with a theme of “Make a Splash — READ." This program was open to infants through sixth graders.
During the six-week program, children who read ten books received a reading certificate and an invitation to the August 19 Certificate Party. The library staff would like to extend their appreciation to Francis Liu, a veteran children's services supporter, who generously donated her homemade 320 delcious cupcakes topped with colorfully designed M&M candies and gummy worms.
For information about children's upcoming programs, please call the Children's Desk at (626) 307-1358.
