Kickoff to Summer Fun
Friday, June 28th 3 PM, more information here
Help the Library kickoff a summer of reading, entertaining programs, and community with the Library’s sixth annual Kickoff to Summer Fun event! The festivities will include an ice cream social on the Library’s terrace, face painting in the children's area, and scavenger hunts throughout the building for every age group. This year during our kickoff we will be registering people for programs and passing out any additional information required to participate in this Summer Programs.
To make the party even livelier, Library staff members invite attendees to play Soak the Staff. By completing the scavenger hunt or making a small donation to the Foundation for Geneva Public Library, players receive three chances to dump buckets of water on the heads of Library staff members. More adventurous guests can volunteer to get soaked themselves!
The Kickoff to Summer Fun is brought to you by Wegmans, and the Foundation for Geneva Public Library.
