Summer reading with the library

The Cathlamet Public Library's Children's Summer Reading Program continues with Wednesday Events at Erickson Park. On July 6 the theme was lighthouses and shipwrecks. A fun experiment called for making an aluminum foil boat and seeing how many pennies it could hold before sinking. Eloise Plank, Nimue Schultz, and Renee Tobin colored coffee filters for a later jellyfish craft project. On July 20 the theme includes sharks, fish, whales, octopus, and squid. Crafts will include making an ocean in a bottle (complete with shark), and a pufferfish painting. Events are from 1-2 p.m. Make sure your child is registered on the Beanstack website to log books they have read for earning prizes at .
