Those who participate in the program can expect “themed storytimes, crafts, reading challenges, live performances, and more,” according to the City of El Centro.
Durning the event, Wild Wonders made an appearance, where many children, teenagers and adults got to see and touch different animals, such as a snake and possum.
“It’s a great way to encourage children and families to explore the world through books, discovery, and hands-on experiences. We invite everyone to take part in the activities planned all summer long,” Mayor Carter expressed.
