Off the Shelf: Library Events Marking End of Summer Reading Program

By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on July 17, 2019 from Off the Shelf via Connect-Bridgeport.com

It is hard to believe, but the summer reading program is in its last week.  There are still programs scheduled for this week, and readers have a few more days to add items to their book logs.  Of course, just because the summer reading program is over, does not mean there is still a not a lot of hot muggy days to enjoy sitting with a book.  And many people still have vacation planned when they finally have time to read. 
 
“After Hours Glow in the Dark Nerf Battle” was held Monday, July 15/  Participants used their sills to evade capture at this lights-out nerf battle after hours.  
 
On Tuesday, at noon, children between the ages of 9 and 12 participateed in the “Rock N-Roll Mystery Theater” at 12 noon.  Children had pre-assigned roles and wore costumes. 
 
“Spidersona” takes place on Thursday, July 18 at 6 p.m.  Participants will learn how to create their own spidersona with graphic designer Kelsey Musgrave.  This program is for children ages 4-12.  Registration is required.
 
And on Friday, July 19 from noon – 7 p.m. is our grand finale.  This year it is a LibraryCon; vendors will be set up throughout the library, offering an assortment of different activities, information, and projects.
 
Other programs are continuing throughout the month, so please pick up a handout at the library or google our website for a calendar.  Also, the handout, BookRead is available free of charge at both circulation desks.  It contains dozens of recommended new books out each month and is a great place to get ideas for the rest of your summer reading.
