Millard Oakley Public Library News, June 10, 2022
Overton County offices, including the Millard Oakley Library, will be closed on Monday, June 20.
Oceans of Possibilities, our summer reading program, began this week with Story Times on Wednesday, where our readers made wind chimes, and Thursday, when our readers made masks and seascapes. Following Story Time on Thursday, Magician Bruce Amato entertained our readers young and old with magic tricks and jokes. Our next story time will be on Wednesday, June 15 at 10:30. Thursday, June 16 at 10:30, Ollie Otter is scheduled to be here. Overton County Schools are providing free lunch to our school age children.
Our summer readers have many ways to win prizes this year. Every time they come to story time, they are eligible to pick a prize off our prize table. Our 100 Days of Reading, sponsored by Save the Children, continues on. For every log turned in with 20 minutes a day reading each day, a prize will be awarded. We also have a Reading Bingo. For the first bingo on a sheet, a reader will win a free ice cream from Dairy Queen. For their second bingo, they will win a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut. For their third bingo, they will win a free pass to the Livingston Pool. Let’s keep those minds from experiencing the Summer Slide and READ!
