Summer Reading Program - "Make a Splash"

The Polk County Public Library has announced the schedule for their Summer Reading Program:
(all programs begin at 10:30am, unless otherwise noted)

June 15 - “Make A Splash Magic Reading Show!” Everyone shows up to see Sammy Seal perform his amazing tricks, but Sammy doesn’t want to go on! See if Zelnik the Magician (and seal trainer) can persuade Sammy to perform.

June 22 - 3:00 pm - Reptiles and Amphibians from the North Carolina Museum of Natural History. This “live” program will feature several species of reptiles and amphibians native to our state. A discussion of their habits and habitat and an opportunity for up close observance!

June 29 - “Pirates of the Carolinas: A Historical Look at Pirates”. Learn fun pirate facts and dispel some pirate myths with music, puppets, magic, storytelling and humor. All the pirates mentioned in this program have ties to North and South Carolina.

July 15 - “Make a Splash in the Past” with Fli-Rite Learning. Take kids back in time to share the history of the Southeast. Using books, period games, magic, music and costumes, children learn about important events in our history including inventions, civil rights, book and peace awards, the colonial era, flight and the Civil War.

July 20 - String Celebration. “Read for your Life!” A show that uses songs, stories, poems and silliness to promote reading. Wait till you meet “Gilbert the Bluefish”, who discovers (almost too late) that reading can save your life!

July 27 - “Make a Splash” Wrap Up Party at Harmon Field. Wade in the Pacolet River, play water games, enjoy watermelon and hot dogs! Children must be accompanied by adults.
