Week Two of Summer Reading Heats Up at the Library
The Stillwater Public Library leaps into its second week of summer reading with programs full of mystery, fun and adventure.
On Tuesday, June 11, Extreme Animals will present “Get Wild” for kids featuring live animals from the outback of Australia to the rainforests of the world. The show takes place at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and is best suited for children entering kindergarten through fifth grade. Doors will close when the room reaches capacity. An adult must be present to supervise attending children.
With adventure around every corner, teen services librarian Jordan Stine is looking forward to his second year of summer reading.
“This summer is off to an incredibly exciting start,” Stine said. “No matter what type of adventure you’re interested in experiencing, the library should have you covered. Everyone is going to have a blast.”
Week two for teens takes a turn for the mysterious on Wednesday, June 12, at 2 p.m. The library and the OSU Museum of Art invite teens in grades six through 12 to attend “Art Mystery Adventure.” A rare and priceless painting suddenly goes missing, and teen curators must act as detectives. This program will occur at the OSU Museum of Art located at 720 S. Husband.
There will not be a family movie this week. The next film screening will take place on Thursday, July 20.
