Families had a day of summer fun and were given the opportunity to sign up for the Summer Reading Challenge. There was a fun jump, petting zoo, balloon artist, face painting, and live performances by Mitch the Magician (11:00 AM & 2:00 PM). The Friends of the Library even had a dunk tank to Dunk The Director!
