Summer Reading ending with ice cream parties
Botetourt County Libraries’ “Unearth a Story” Summer Reading Challenge comes to a close on Saturday, July 25. Readers have until then to turn in their completed reading logs and dig up a prize from the treasure chest, get a free book, and free ticket to a Roanoke Rail Yard Dawgs game. Completed logs also earn an entry into the grand prize drawing of a family experience at Dinosaur Kingdom, plus a toy drawing at each branch. Join us for an end-of-summer ice cream party at any Botetourt County library from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Thank you to everyone who joined us on this summer’s excavation — happy reading!
