Whew! We had an extremely busy summer here at the library. The summer reading game came to an end on Saturday, August 14th. We had a total of 24 programs this summer, including Art and Science Camp, Friday crafts, a magician, and the sumemr carnival. Thanks to everyone who attended our events and made this summer a lot of fun! The Newark Library League supported all of our programs, making it possible to offer the programs to the public free of charge. Check out some of these fun photos from our summer carnival:
