Sno-Kones were popular with the kids who attended Lewisville Library's 2009 Summer Reading Kick-Off program.

Big Bang Boom and More!

A little over a week ago, on June 15, Lewisville Library held its 2009 Summer Reading Kick-Off program under the oak trees at Shallowford Square.

With the lively music of the children’s music group, Big Bang Boom, it’s possible that promoting summer reading has never been more fun. The children eagerly sang and danced to the band’s fun tunes and imaginative lyrics. I even spotted quite a few parents joining in, too!

The Friends of the Lewisville Library also provided several tables piled with children’s books that could be purchased at bargain prices. When Big Bang Boom concluded their portion of the program, many of the children concentrated on getting free Sno-Kones and playing with bubbles.

    Just wanted to take a minute to say thank you for all you do for Lewisville and especially the Friends of the Lewisville Library.

  2. Thanks very much, Diane. I’ve been blessed to meet so many fine Lewisville folks who donate their time and efforts for good causes. One such valuable community group is certainly the Friends of the Lewisville Library.
