Kickoff to summer reading party is a blast

By

The Land O’ Lakes Branch Library, 2818 Collier Parkway, recently held its Summer Reading Club Blast Off party. The event featured dozens of attractions, such as water activities, Pasco County Utilities and Fire Rescue Touch-a-Truck, Pasco County Sheriff’s Mounted Posse, dance parties, face painting, crafts, a bounce house and a mobile science center. Branch manager Robert Speich described the annual kickoff party as a way of getting patrons excited about summer reading, as well as letting the community know about the many programs and activities the library will have available throughout the summer.
