VIRTUAL SUMMER LIBRARY PROGRAM 2020
AMAZING JOB!
THE END
We have added badges at the end of each path in Storyopolis! If you have
completed any path (10 badges), you can check off the badge for that path. You can pick up a key chain token at the library’s curbside pick up after that! Let us know what path’s completed and we will put those beads on your chain (Gold for mythology, Heart for fairy tale, and Star for folklore)
Here’s what happened:
You read so much along with teens and adults that the Friends of the Amesbury Library were able to donate $800 to ABLE HeART Studio!
RAFFLES: Our raffles have been drawn, and winners are notified! Keep a look out at our social media channels to see some of our raffle winners! Awesome job everyone!
MAGIC AND MYTHOLOGY CELEBRATION VIRTUAL MATERIALS!
JOURNALS: Pick up a journal or use your own and participate in our 
writing or drawing prompts each week to imagine your own story from June 22nd – August 10th! Share some with us and we’ll have a special page for them on our website! Either send a scan, photo, or document to kids@amesburylibrary.org or drop a copy in the mailbox on the side door of the Library!
