Other workshops include music, story/ puppet theater and crafts
Get a clue @Your Library will be the theme of the Summer Reading Program this year at the Desmond-Fish Library and will include crime scene investigations, geocaching and a Web Treasure Hunt.
As in past years the Library will be rewarding children who keep up their reading skills during the summer. Beginning June 18, children can pick up their summer reading calendars and begin checking off each day they that read or are read to for at least 20 minutes. After ten checks they will receive a prize. This year they will also get to put their name in a drawing for a $30 gift certificate at the Friends' Book and Media sale. Adults will also have the chance to win a gift certificate by reading at least ten books over the summer.
Special programs will include a visit by Federal Marshal Sean McCluskey on July 14 at 2pm who will show children how to dust for fingerprints, question witnesses and solve a crime with clues. On July 21, at 11am Susan Allen will show kids how to use a Global Positioning System to find the coordinates of treasures hidden at the Library.
A Web Treasure Hunt will begin on July 9. Kids who go to www.dfl.highlands.com will find a new clue each week. Get all the clues and come to the Library on August 25 to claim a prize. That day will also feature a book give away and and Ice Cream Party all starting at 11am.
