Keeping Up With Kids

Tiffany Meyer enlisted some wonderful community experts and partners, along with her own creativity, to make the Summer Library Program in Dresser a great success.  There was a pop-up planetarium, a local herbalist taking kids on a lawn walk to spot common useful herbs, someone who helped kids make ice cream, a master gardener, and more!

 A rock expert brought in lots of fossils, geodes, and more, and kids got to take home a souvenir!
 Hard to go wrong with chalk and spray bottles–they also made paper and ice paintings this hot summer!
 Dresser Olympics, a gold medal winner!
Making bubble wands engages a variety of ages
