“Catch the Reading Bug” was the theme of this year’s Summer Reading Program at the Plattsmouth Library. We had a very successful year with an average of 125 children at Garfield Park each week. There was a huge turnout for the kickoff program with Kathleen Ziemer of Butterfliz of Iowa. She brought many examples of butterflies, cocoons, and chrysalis’ for everyone to see and touch. Ms. Ziemer also gave a great talk explaining the life cycle and work of the butterfly. There were over 200 people at Garfield Park including kids, parents, day care providers, and other chaperones. The Friends of the Plattsmouth Library group very generously donated specially designed book bags filled with books for each child in attendance. The Women’s Auxiliary of the Veteran’s of Foreign Wars group were the Storytime Readers as part of recognizing the Fourth of July.
