The Flagler County Public Library on Palm Coast Parkway is celebrating the beginning of its Youth Summer Reading program and the grand opening of its new Music Garden.
The "foamtastic" bubble party will be held from 1-3:15 p.m. at the Palm Coast Branch Library on June 7. Live music will be performed by Mr. Richard at 1 p.m. and the ribbon-cutting for the new Music Garden will be at 2 p.m., followed by the bubble party, a Flagler County press release said.
The garden was funded in part by a grant received from the Northeast Florida Library Information Network and by donations to the Friends of the Library of Flagler County, the press release said.
The celebration also marks the beginning of the library's Summer Performance series, with a special performance and entertainment planned for every Tuesday through July.
It is also the beginning of the library's reading program. Children from infants to age 12 can participate in Summer Reading Program by picking up a reading log each week and reading 20 minutes each day, the press release said. When a log is completed and turned into the Youth Services Department, the child is entered into a raffle for prizes and a brag tag. All logs must be turned in by Aug. 1.
Similarly, the Summer Reading Scratch-Offs program is for teens aged 13-18. The teens earn a scratch off for each booked checked out or teen program attended, the press release said. Each Scratch-Off is one entry for prizes that will be announced at the end of the summer.
