Adventure Begins at your Library Summer Reading

Stanley Public Library’s summer reading program, Adventures Begin at your Library, was held Thursday, May 30. Students wrote titles of books read in the past week on paper airplanes and stories were read around the campfire. The students had their passports stamped for a trip to North Dakota. They divided into teams for a marshmallow toss game and then made s’mores around the campfire. Older students also participated in camping riddles and made camping lanterns. Globe stress balls, compass paracord kits and snacks were given to each participant. The winners of books were Knute Roise, Hayes Gustafson, Cade Schneider and Bode Haugen. The next day of the program will be Thursday, June 6 at 1 PM.
