Wow!! What an amazing end to our summer of reading here at the library! Congratulations to all the library kids who worked hard to fill up the pom pom jar to earn an ice cream party. And a HUGE thank you to firefighter Michael Norgang who was our stoeytime reader and showed the kids around the fire station, fire trucks and let them try on his turnout gear. Memories were definitely made! Another special thank you to Marge Sheridan for the pizza, which was an amazing addition to the ice cream party! The kids finished the evening by sliding down the little side hill on the empty pizza boxes. What fun we all had!! ![]()

Dont forget to come to the library tomorrow to celebrate the end of summer reading challenge with a special firefighter story hour, tour of the firehouse and fire trucks, and an ice cream party! This is a free event open to kids (and parents) of all ages and towns. Don’t worry if you can’t make it right at 4:30, it is ok to be late. 🙂 ![]()

PS. This would be a great place to show off the new tie dye shirts that you create at TONIGHT’S event up at Gesner Park (happening 5-7pm)!
Mark your calendars for Tuesday, August 19th at 4:30 for our final summer celebration at the Monroe Community Library. We’ll start with a story read by one of our very own Monroe fire fighters, followed by a tour of the fire station and fire trucks. Then we’ll end with a well earned ice cream party! The kids really showed up this summer and have nearly filled up the reading challenge jar with pom poms. We have no doubt they’ll get it filled by the 19th! We hope to see you there!! 🔥🍦📖
