All are welcome to the grand re-opening celebration of the Calistoga Library!
Danis Kreimeier
Summer’s in full swing now and that means it’s time for our annual Summer Reading Program for children, teens and adults. This year’s theme is “Party On! @ the Library.” What better theme could we have at the mid-point of our 100th anniversary as a library system? We encourage everyone to come in, sign up, attend some of our dozens of programs this summer and read, read, read. Some of our fun activities for the summer include puppet shows, magic acts, sewing workshops and 3D printing. We’re making it even easier for everyone to participate by offering online participation again this year. To sign up online visit napa.readingbydesign.org All age groups are eligible for prize drawings and the children’s programs include milestone rewards to help encourage kids along the way. Special thanks to the Bookmine for their annual support, as well as the Meritage Resort and Spa and the Napa Valley Wine Train. Participating in our Summer Reading Program is an easy way for kids to avoid summer learning loss and adults to catch up on all those great books they keep saying they’ll get around to “when I have time.” So come one, come all and Party On!
Join us for... Salsa Contest u Crafts u Games u Bilingual Storytime Live Music by the Hot Frittatas! u Refreshments ...and more!
