Kick off summer with a day full of fun, treats, and hands-on adventures for the whole family! Join us at Gunn Memorial Library to sign up for our Summer Reading Program and celebrate with a special event you won’t want to miss.

Peaches N’ Cream Ice Cream Shop Experience

“Peaches N’Cream” brings a delightful pop up experience to kick off our summer reading. Adults, teens and children who register for Summer Reading will receive a sweet ice cream treat* to enjoy. It’s the perfect way to start the summer full of smiles, laughter, and a little something sweet! *while supplies last

Dinosaur Crafts & Dino Oobleck Fun
Calling all dinosaur lovers! Alongside your sweet treat, enjoy a prehistoric adventure packed with creativity and discovery. Kids and families can make paper plate dinosaurs, create pretend dinosaur “food,” and explore fun, easy crafts with step-by-step guidance.

Then dive into a super cool science activity—Dino Oobleck! This squishy, stretchy goo acts like both a liquid and a solid. Even better? Tiny dinosaurs are frozen inside! Use warm water to “rescue” them and see what this fascinating material can do.

Come ready to explore, create, and have a dino-mite time!

Registration is required to ensure we have enough ice cream and supplies for everyone.
