The Summer Reading Experience at Flathead County Library launched on June 10 and encourages children and teens to enjoy books, explore science, and discover new adventures all summer long.
There is no cost to participate. Beginning June 10, children and teens can sign-up and pick up a game board at any library location that offers reading and learning challenges, as well as a list of summer programming at the library.
The library will be celebrating by hosting a Play Expo at the Kalispell library on June 11 from 11 a.m.-4 p.m., and at the Columbia Falls library on June 13 from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. The community is invited to explore art, sensory play, science and movement.
In addition, the Flathead County Library will be teaming up with Flathead Valley Community College to offer a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Tournament for teens in grades six to 12 and FVCC students. The event will take place at the FVCC Library on Saturday, June 15 at 1 p.m. Participants must enroll by 1:15 p.m. on the day of the tournament to participate.
