Prizes were won, tacos and ice cream were consumed, and readers of all ages celebrated a great summer at the library last Wednesday. In what has officially become a tradition, community members of all ages came out to the library for the third annual Endless Summer Party.
Community partners Em’s Art Shack and the Greenwich Youth Center added to the fun with a hands-on pottery activity and school supplies giveaways respectively. Drummer Larry Levine led participants in a drum and percussion circle, and local restaurant Casa Reyes joined in with their food truck. Thanks to the generosity of the Saratoga Springs Ben & Jerry’s, kids got a free scoop. Although summer hasn’t ended, the library’s summer reading program has, so the party was also an opportunity to celebrate the joy we shared as a community reading a cumulative total of 266,362 pages. This beat our 2023 total by a little over 2,000 pages. The library is a whole lot more than the books inside it, but when over 230 people come together to read those books, it warrants a party.
