The James V. Brown Library, 19 E. Fourth St., will celebrate all children who participated in the summer learning program during a Scholastic Book Fair finale scheduled August 5-7.

Children who complete their reading log and missions in the ReadSquared app will receive a voucher for a free book at the library’s Scholastic Book Fair and a sweet treat. Children who did not complete their reading log but still want to celebrate may still purchase books.

Children’s books will be in the first-floor programming rooms and the tween/teen/YA books will be in the third-floor Lowry Room. There will be additional fun games and prizes throughout the event.

– 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, August 5
– 1-8 p.m. Friday (Kids First Friday), August 6
– 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Saturday, August 7

The event is generously sponsored by the Friends of the James V. Brown Library.
