Just an Old Fashioned Summer Reading Program

Children's Summer Program – by Eileen Fitzgibbons

Children with Miss Eileen at a Summer Reading event

It is not every day we celebrate our town's 250th anniversary. Our children need old fashioned play time, crafts and family activities in their lives so that they can be "kids" as long as possible. So this summer we are going to travel back through time. We invite you to play without electricity, video or television and let the imagination soar. The Norfolk Library is a great place to read, write or curl up to dream …of those things that children dream of.

Did you know that the first ice cream parlor opened in 1776? Ice cream is old-fashioned so we will have to eat a lot of it this summer! The following is a schedule of the summer reading program events.
Sign up soon as these programs will fill up quickly!

The Art of Observation
Tuesday June 8, 3:30 to 6:00 pm
This program is limited to 20 kids age nine and up. Artist Bob Marstall has won numerous awards but he is most proud of winning the Orbis Pictus Award for non-fiction.

That night from 6:30 to 7:30 pm, the community is invited to a SLIDE SHOW of Bob’s extraordinary art. Prints will be for sale. R.S.V.P.
