Touch-a-Truck Summer Reading Kickoff In-Person
Join us on the Library's front lawn for a night of family fun as we celebrate the start of Summer Reading! Get your face painted and play games, then visit with a number of LeRoy's community helpers and take a look inside their awesome vehicles! We'll have emergency vehicles like an ambulance, police car, and fire truck along with other cool vehicles like a tractor and limo! We'll also have a bounce obstacle course provided by KK Bounce! Don't forget to stop by our registration table to sign up for one of our Summer Reading Challenges. All ages, please register as a family!
