From the library: “What an INCREDIBLE Night! WOW! Thank you to over 500 people who came out last night for our Summer Reading Kickoff Party! The energy, the families, the community spirit—it was absolutely amazing!
Here’s what made last night so special:Kids and teens signed up for our summer reading challenge and picked out FREE books to take home! Adults who signed up received a FREE book sticker! Thanks to Fidelity Bank and Pops Sweet Harts, everyone got to enjoy free ice cream! Kids had a blast trying their luck in GFA’s Money Tornado Huge thanks to Gardner Police Department for bringing vehicles and letting kids test the sirens! Project HEAL/Growing Places distributed free fresh produce boxes filled with locally grown goodies
MOC (Montachusett Opportunity Council) brought their popular Parents as Teachers Mystery Box and other great tables. Hope House had everyone looking summer-ready with face painting. Gardner Family Resource Center and Heywood Commons had amazing giveaways. Our City Engineer was here, working on ways to make Gardner safer.
This is what community looks like. A huge thank you to all of our partners and to YOU for showing up big and making this such a special event! We’re your library, and we’re here for you. Come see us this summer—borrow some books, claim your summer reading rewards, or just hang out in our cool (capital C!) space. We have amazing programs planned all summer long, and we can’t wait to see you again! See you at the library!
