The Weedsport Free Library is thrilled to announce that our summer reading program is officially underway! We kicked things off last month with a successful babysitter’s course and Summer Reading Kick Off/Sign-Up Night with Capt. Jack, and we’re just getting started.
If you haven’t joined the summer reading challenge yet, it’s not too late — stop by the library to sign up and get started! We have a full calendar of fun and free events for all ages throughout July.
Join us for our summer concert at Trolley Park at 6 p.m. Monday, July 7! Enjoy dinner from Doug’s Fish Fry (available all day), cool off with Muzzi’s D'Italia Ice and check out Linked by Live a Little Boutique for permanent jewelry. We’ll also have balloon animals and temporary tattoos from The Face Painting Lady and live music from Southbound Train. It’s a free, family-friendly night out you won’t want to miss!
