Carnival Kicks-off Summer Reading Program

 

Celebrate the Davenport Public Library's, Dream Big READ! Carnival as the kickoff to the Summer Reading Program at the Fairmount Branch Library (3000 N. Fairmount Street) on Saturday, June 2, between 12 and 4 p.m. Be sure to get your picture taken with our new 25' Libby "the Library Dog" balloon (weather permitting)!

 

First sign up for the Summer Reading Program, then stay for the carnival!  We'll have loads of games like bowling, arctic fishing, a duck pond, and more - including a dunk tank (weather permitting). Kids can earn tickets at these fun games which can be used to purchase prizes from our prize booth.

 

The Davenport Public Library's Libby balloon and mascot were made possible by funds provided by the Riverboat Development Authority.

 

The Summer Reading Program is for all ages.  For more information, visit www.davenportlibrary.com.

 
Libby Balloon Arrives in Davenport

The Davenport Public Library's mascot, Libby the Library Dog, has grown into a 25' balloon thanks to a grant from Riverboat Development Authority.  Stop by the Summer Reading Kickoff Carnival on Saturday, June 2 from noon to 4 p.m. at the Fairmount Branch Library to see and get your picture taken with this beautiful mascot!  The real Libby mascot will be walking around getting her picture taken with her friends during this same time.

The Libby mascot and the balloon were paid for through a grant provided by the Riverboat Development Authority.

Thank you RDA!
