SOLON — Friday, May 30, was the last day of school for Solon students, and also time for the annual Solon Public Library Summer kickoff event. The 6:00 p.m. event featured plenty of popcorn, popsicles, yard games, and a water sprinkler.
The hit of the night was the foam machine, which created huge clusters of bubbles for children at the kickoff event to play in. Children ended the night covered in the foam, tired from an exciting day, and ready for the next few months of summer fun.
Yellow-shirted library staff were also hard at work passing out summer reading program forms, which are still available for pickup at the library during business hours. Adults and teens are also able to participate in the summer reading program, which runs from Sunday, June 1, through Thursday, July 31.
There are also a variety of other fun summer events coming up, such as the Friends of the Library garage sale, which runs Friday, June 6, through Saturday, June 7.
More activities, such as Storytime and chair yoga, can be found on the calendar at https://www.solon.lib.ia.us/calendar.
