Family Events
Once the weekly summer reading programs are over in July, we didn't want the fun to end! So we're bringing back a couple of favorites during the month of August for you to enjoy as a family!
FOAM PARTY: August 8/4-6 PM @ CHAUTAUQUA PARK
Celebrate the end of summer with a FOAM PARTY at Chautauqua Park! Professional foam canon operators will be there to create bubbles and magic! Please make sure to wear something that can get wet/dirty, and something on your feet that makes it easy to play in foam! We may have a few other surprises in store for that evening as well!
And it's NOT just for kids - it's for everyone! Let's celebrate a wonderful summer with an epic end of summer party!
Cake Wars!
Stop in to the library on August 1 to grab your cake pan and supplies. Bake and decorate your cake any time between August 1 - 18. In order to have your cake included in voting, you MUST email a photo to: cjpldirector@gmail.com by 4 pm on August 18.
You are welcome to make as many cakes as you'd like, but we ask that you only take supplies for 1 cake per person from the library in order to ensure as many people can participate as possible.
Voting will begin at 9 am on August 19, ending at noon on August 22, with a winner announced at 3 pm. Voting is ONLY available on the ORIGINAL library Facebook post, and will be based on reactions (likes, loves, etc).
To the right is the 2024 Cake Wars winning cake for inspiration!
Movies at the Park Library!
During the summer of 2022 when we did Movies at the Park, the days/times to do an outdoor movie were too late in the evening for littles, and then combined with the bugs made for a less than stellar viewing experience. So we're bringing Movies at the Park to the Library instead - where the bugs and the heat won't bother you!
Wednesday, July 30/2 pm: "How to Train Your Dragon"
Wednesday, August 6/2 pm: "Raya and the Last Dragon"
Both are animated films and perfect for family viewing. The Library will provide popcorn, but feel free to bring any other treats, drinks, or comfy items you'd like! Please view information to determine fit for your family with each of these movies (both are rated PG).
