The Library got this inflatable water slide for the 100 year celebration. It was a definite attraction for kids and families on a hot summer afternoon. The librarian announced winners of various prizes, including an Ipad for the most reading. It is becoming such a welcoming place. It is cool on hot summer days. It is a safe place for kids to come and chill. From what I hear older folks like to hang out there as well. A library helps make a town complete.

We have three libraries within a short distance of us. I used to work in a library; and I think they are the BEST places to go. Reading is so important.

Libraries are the greatest way to save money and be part of something positive.

@GardenGerty Library sales are the best place to buy books by the bag load! They are so much less than purchasing the books at a retail level.

What a great idea, too bad the parents didn't jump in also. I also think a library is such a wonderful place.

I was glad to see parents out spervising. The slide may have had a weight limit.

@GardenGerty That makes sense about the weight limit, they just looked hot.

That is creative and a nice way to beat the heat, I think.

It's been decades since I've been in one. There aren't any close to home and in my case I'd rather peruse YouTube than a bunch of books.

This is a very small library. Hubby can usually find something he wants to read, though.

They closed off the street for the evening. Across the way is the local Veteran's Memorial Park.

A library, a post office, a church, these are all cornerstones of any town. The inflatable slide is bright and colourful.

This is also quite popular in Hong Kong. Kids love that. They closed some due to the pandemic.

This one was rented for the occasion. I know if lots of people are sick we cannot do things like this.
