summer reading kick-off party movie June 3 2022 post

Summer Reading program begins; all ages welcome

Catch a wave into the St. Marys Community Public Library and join us for Summer Reading 2022. All ages from infant through adult are invited to pick up a reading log at the library circulation desk and track time spent reading or listening to books. Your summer will be filled with porpoise and fun, and your completed log becomes an entry in a drawing for sharktastic and jawsome prizes!

Our theme this year is “Oceans of Possibilities” – and it is fun for everyone.

  • Beginning Friday, June 3, from 1:00 to 3:00 P.M. everyone is invited to a Summer Reading Kick-Off Party. We will host an interactive viewing experience of the movie Finding Nemo. You’ve never seen it like this before: participants bring the movie to life, responding to cues in the movie – shouting out special lines, throwing props at the screen, and enjoying themed snacks. You can even wear a Nemo related costume if you want!
  • Drop-In Crafts will take place all summer long. They begin on Monday, June 6, from 4:00 to 7:00 P.M. The so-fish-ticated crafts take about a half hour to complete.
  •  Tuesday, June 7, weekly story times begin. Running from 10:30 to 11:00 a.m. every Tuesday until our last summer story time on July 12, this is shrimply fun for little ones.

Check our online calendar at smcpl.org or follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube and never miss any of the library events.
