The Summer Reading Club had its first big event this week at the Revelstoke branch of the Okanagan Regional Library! SRC members had fun making milky rainbows, potato porcupines, and marshmallow monsters, all in the name of science.
Thanks, as always goes to our amazing crew of youth helpers! Our next event will be on Wednesday, July 16, from 10.30 am to 11.30 am, when magician Leif David will be in town with an all new show called Funny Business.
Here are some photos of the kids having fun:
