All Paws Great and Small Animal Rescue Fair is Degenstein Community Library’s summer reading program kick-off event on Saturday, June 12 from 11am – 1pm in Central Park next to the library.

This year’s theme is “Tails & Tales,” which encourages all ages to continue reading through the summer.  The kick-off event will have representatives from Mostly Mutts, Danville SPCA, Canine Hero Haven, 4 Paws Sake PA, Haven to Home, and Cats in Bloom.  Snacks and beverages will be available for purchase. Children will be able to register for summer reading, meet great animals and volunteers from local rescue organizations, and participate in a number of activities.

Given the past year with all the challenges of virtual learning, summer reading provides a fun, creative outlet that sparks lifelong learning and encourages literacy. The Summer Reading Program is open to all ages from babies and toddlers to teens and adults and is free of charge.

New this year, the Degenstein Community Library will also be offering Page Turner Adventures Virtual program.  Families can watch author interviews, field trips, interactive stories, and craft activities all online that will fit everyone’s comfort and accessibility level.
