Summer Reading Kickoff
Get ready to embark on a literary adventure at the Greensboro Public Library's Summer Reading Kickoff event! We're thrilled to invite families to a day filled with fun, creativity, and a dash of musical magic. This year, the theme for our Summer Reading program is "Adventure Begins at Your Library," and we're celebrating with an exciting event that has something for everyone.
Start your day with the high-energy sounds of Big Bang Boom, the band that knows how to get kids (and kids-at-heart) rocking with their catchy power-pop tunes. Then, unleash your artistic side with Son of Simba Art, where you can create your very own masterpiece. Don't forget to stop by the Face Painting station to transform into your favorite character or animal. And with plenty of crafts, community resources, and local organizations on hand, there's no shortage of activities to keep you entertained.
This is also your chance to sign up for our Summer Reading program, where new adventures and literary wonders await. Whether you're a young reader, a teen bookworm, or a seasoned page-turner, there's a world of stories to explore at the Greensboro Public Library.
Bring your family, friends, and a sense of adventure, because this day is all about celebrating the joy of reading and discovering the treasures that your library has to offer. Mark your calendar for Saturday, June 8, and join us at Center City Park for an unforgettable day of excitement, exploration, and pure literary fun. We can't wait to see you there!
