Summer Reading at the
Library
The Greenville Public
Library's Summer Reading Programs this year will be outstanding. Our
Librarians have a line-up of events the whole family will enjoy. Again
“Family Fun Day” is every Wednesday at 11:00 a.m. starting
June 11 and going through to July 30.
Meet on the lawn under
the shade trees and bring a blanket or lawn chair! In case of
inclement weather the First Congregational Christian Church on 5th
Street generously offers their Activity Building. Again “Family
Fun Day” is sponsored by generous grants from the Friends of the
Library and the Greyson James Steyer Memorial Fund.
On July 16th the
Library hosts the Cincinnati Observatory. There will be two programs
- one at 11:00 a.m. at “Family Fun Day” and another at 2:00 p.m. In the
afternoon the audience will be guided through space utilizing
amazing simulation software - stopping at the Moon and planets and
going into interstellar space where they will see all the galaxies in
the universe!
Then on July 19th the
Library is hosting “Dome Theater Planetarium” a state-of-the-art
mobile theater system which will present eight museum-quality shows
with such titles as “Passport to the Universe” and “Cosmic
Collisions.“ More info on these exciting events will be published
soon. Be sure to pick up a brochure and follow the Children &
Teen pages on Facebook!
