Upcoming Programs
Kickoff to Summer Fun
Help the Library kickoff a summer of reading, music, entertaining programs, and community! The festivities start at 3 PM on Friday, July 6th and will include an ice cream social on the Library’s terrace, face painting, and scavenger hunts throughout the building for every age group. Attendees receive three chances to “Soak the Staff” by completing the scavenger hunt or making a small donation to the Foundation for the Geneva Public Library. More adventurous guests can volunteer to get soaked themselves!
The Kickoff to Summer Fun is brought to you by Wegman's, and the Foundation for Geneva Public Library.
