This event will kick off the EPL’s Summer Reading Challenge. This year’s theme, “Color Our World: A Journey of Art and Creativity,” invites residents of all ages to explore how art can enrich the lives of many — from painting and music to storytelling and design. Read books, join fun events, earn prizes and let the imagination shine. Whether a participant is discovering new passions or diving deeper into past skills, this summer is the chance to make the world your canvas. Organized by Everett’s dedicated library team, the kickoff event promises something for everyone. Attendees can enjoy: · Interactive art stations and crafts · Face painting · Refreshments, music and giveaways · Onsite registration for the Summer Reading Challenge Additionally, the Shute Memorial and Parlin Memorial Libraries will be off ering a wide array of programs, resources and spaces that make it easier than ever for families to stay engaged, entertained and learning all summer long. “Having both the Parlin and Shute Libraries means more opportunities, more events, and more access for our community,” said Everett Public Libraries Director Kevin Sheehan. Children’s Librarians Kristin McAuliffe and Valerie Terenzi have a variety of educational and entertaining programs on the calendar aiming to reduce the “summer slide” (when children experience a decline in their ability to read). The Summer Reading Challenge runs from June 14 through August 24 — encouraging readers of all ages to explore books, attend programs and create art inspired by what they read. Participants can earn prizes for each challenge they complete in their Summer Reading Passport and take part in special events throughout the summer.
