Miss C's Corner
 
Hi all, Miss C here!
 
We have been having SO much fun this year during our Summer Reading Program! Thanks to grants from the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance and the Sullivan Public Library Alliance, we have played together, painted on rocks and canvases, made collage poetry, danced to music, hand-fed alpacas, learned all about songbirds with the National Park Service and how to make fruit shaped pompoms with Wool Worth. And we still have so much fun coming up! 
 
In this newsletter I have included information about all of our remaining programs for the Summer. Then, we'll take a little break and start up youth programs again after Labor Day! 
 
Please remember that registration is required for ALL programs this summer! Drop-ins will be welcomed as long as there is space, but programs with low or no registration may be cancelled... so please, please register! We cannot contact you about essential information unless we know you are planning to attend! 
 
Thank you all for being a part of this wonderful, colorful summer program!
