Last two weeks of Color Our World! 2025 Summer Reading Programs!

Welcome to the last two weeks of Color Our World, the Indiana Free Library's 2025 Summer Reading programs!

We only have a couple children's programs left before the Wrap-Up Party at Waterworks Conservation Area on July 31st, 11 AM-1 PM.

Our last Creative Kids with Miss Barb and Miss Rose will be next Monday, July 28th at 11 AM in the Children's Department. This program is for kids ages 2- 5 and registration is required.

Tomorrow and next Tuesday, we have Rainbow Rascals for birth-2 year old's out at the Community Gardens at 10:30 AM with Miss Barb and Miss Amber. There is no registration for this program.

On Wednesdays, July 23rd and 30th the last two Kid Zone programs at 1 PM for 6-11 year old's will take place. Salamanders and other Pretty Slimy Things are up for this Wednesday and Eating Around the Rainbow (A kid's cooking program), will happen on the 30th. Registration is required for these programs.

This Thursday, July 24th will be the last Tech Troop for this summer. 8-11 year old kids will meet at 1 PM for this STEAM program. We'll be creating abstract art with paint spinners. Gotta register for this one, too!

The Wrap-Up Party will take place on July 31st at the Waterworks Conservation Area at the end of 6th Street from 11 AM-1 PM. Registration is necessary so we know how many treats to purchase for our last day of summer reading fun. Mandy Smith from the PA Fish and Boat Commission will be there with their fun activity "Backyard Bass." 

Afterwards, if you and the kiddos want to throw a real line in the water, follow us out to Blue Spruce Park at 3 PM. We will provide the fishing gear, bait, and refreshments for an hour or so of real fishing at the pier. Registration is required and limited to ten kids. If you have your own pole, there is no need to register. Just come on out and join us for some outdoor fun.

Remember, the Great Reading Adventure does not end until August 3rd. Keep reading and logging those minutes! The top two readers from each age group will win prizes and we will be calling those winners on Tuesday, August 5th to let them know when they can come to the library to pick up their prizes. Thank you all for participating in all of our programs this summer!!
