The program began with a kick-off entitled Stories Around the Campfire. At the kick-off children had a chance to sit near a campfire on blankets and hear stories, learn some camping songs, and have s’mores for a snack. The rest of the program continued with night themes which included: Night Night, Dreams and Wishes, Night Adventures, Night Owls, and Night Shivers. While exploring these themes the children heard stories and were able to discuss their own ways of getting ready for bed as well as their dreams, wishes, and adventures. They also made crafts, learned new rhymes, and sang some songs. At the end there was also a trip to the Kopernik Observatory.
Congratulations to all those who participated! The staff looks forward to seeing you next year at the Susquehanna Branch Library’s summer reading program 2013!
