Book around the Block!

Book around the Block! In-Person

Join us for a summer open house at The Community Library, Gold Mine Thrift, Gold Mine Consign, and the Wood River Museum of History and Culture. We're going to "book around the block" for literacy, history, shopping, community, food and fun, with activities for all ages! We encourage you to DRESS in 1950s attire ... you may win a prize!

We're celebrating the Library's 70th ANNIVERSARY with live music and dancing through the decades, an outdoor adventure zone for kids, a big book giveaway, watercolor crafts, discounts at Gold Mine Thrift, pop-up exhibit of retro fashion, Time Warp Photo Booth, scavenger hunt (with prizes!), and more. Plus, FREE birthday cake, pizza, tacos, ice cream, and refreshments!
