Five days remain in the Carson City Library Summer Reading Challenge, and there are plenty of virtual activities for kids of all ages. The reading challenge officially ends on Friday, July 31. To finish the final week, the library is hosting a series of exciting events capped-off by a grand prize giveaway.
A virtual magic art party will be held on the Zoom platform Tuesday, July 28 from 6 to 7 p.m. Interested participants can create an art project using various household items including cardboard, cardstock, construction paper or fabric. Those basic items can help make a silhouette or a diorama of a magical castle on a moonlit night.
Registration is required, email creativelearning@carsoncitylibrary.org to receive a supply list and Zoom invitation. More information on supplies and other items can be found here.
The Carson City Library will close its memorable two-month reading event with a Virtual End of Summer Learning Challenge Party on July 31. The library invites kids to celebrate Harry Potter’s 40th birthday with a series of hands-on activities.
An in-depth herbology class activity will be held at 10 a.m. followed by wandlore at 12 p.m. and potions at 2 p.m. All classes will be held on the Zoom platform, email creativelearning@carsoncitylibrary.org to receive an invitation. Visit the link here for more information.
To finish the party, the library will hold grand prize raffle winners from the culmination of the summer challenge. Prizes include goodie bags full of books, notepads, journals, LED lights and other accessories.
Winners will be chosen via online drawing and awarded by age group: 0-5, 6-11, 12-17 and 18+. The more virtual programs attended, activities completed and hours read, the more raffle tickets earned. All time tracking and ticket collection is done via an online app called Beanstack.
