FIZZ BOOM READ

by

The Gardiner Public Library summer reading program for 2014 is off to a great start!   Summer is the perfect time for kids to read books just for fun.  No tests, book reports or pressure involved. Our first story hour/craft day involved making markers to identify plants that were acquired to go into our library garden as well as the actual planting of flowers, herbs & vegetables.   Unlike past years, the sun shone on our endeavor and the children worked hard to get everything planted.   Check out our calendar for future events.
