Candor Free Library’s summer reading program, “Libraries Rock” continues through Aug. 18. Readers of all ages – from “just beginning” through high school – are encouraged to explore new books and relax with favorite stories.
There will be weekly activities and small prizes, including geodes and crystal-growing kits. Remember to fill out a ticket for each book you read to enter the end-of-summer drawing for a gift certificate to Barnes & Noble.
Also, the Lego club will continue meeting on Wednesday mornings through the rest of summer. Join them from 10 a.m. to noon for engineering and building fun.
On Wednesday, Aug. 8, come see Dan the Snake Man. His show features exotic reptiles and provides an opportunity for people to interact with the animals on an up-close and personal level. Dan encourages people to look, touch, and ask lots of questions. The show starts at 6:30 p.m. and if free.
On Sunday, Aug. 19, stretch your imagination with ArtSplash! This month’s workshop will focus on nature drawing. The art workshop is open to all ages from eight to 108, though children under 12 will need to be accompanied by an adult. ArtSplash starts at 1 p.m. and there is a $5 fee to cover materials. Register by calling the artist at 659-7375.
