A ton of activities will be taking place this summer for children of all ages at the Vermilion Public Library. The next big one will take place July 12, when they host Mary Lambert who will perform a children’s musical show, “Sing Out Summer Fun.”
Their Summer Reading Program kicked off July 3, and children aged 5-12 who read 500 minutes by August 26, will have a chance to earn prizes.
Teens (13+) or adults will have a chance to test out some video games during their Virtual Reality sessions July 17 - 22, from 11:30 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. To book a one-hour time slot you can call (780)853-4288 or stop by the library to sign up. Anyone under the age of 18 will need to have a waiver signed by their parent or guardian before using the equipment.
Another teen activity will be D&D on July 22, from 3 - 6 p.m. in the library basement. Children aged 13-17 can create a Dragon of Icespire Peak character (no experience necessary), and pizza is included.
