Fourth Of July Comes Early At The Library With Fun And Games
July 2, 2008
Kids of all ages celebrated the Fourth of July in grand style Tuesday afternoon at Century Branch Library.
There was a watermelon eating content, a watermelon seed spitting contest (OK…they were actually sunflower seeds), and a hula hoop contest.
The children also enjoyed pigs in a blanket, Whataburger apple pies and more.
Contest winners were awarded free movie rentals from the Movie Gallery and ice cream from the Tea Room at the Country Bumpkin.
Uncle Sam, the Statue of Liberty and George Washington all made special appearances.
The next installment of the Summer Reading Program will be at noon Tuesday, July 8 with the fabulous storytelling of Florida’s own Wendell Campbell, storyteller extraordinaire. All events are free.

I am so proud Century has a library now. I wish we could have had one when I was in school. I think our library is a plus for our community.
