Summer is officially here! School is out, the weather is nice and the kids want to play. Summer is a wonderful time to get out of the house and experience what Agassiz has to offer. There are a lot of great programs happening this summer and they are FREE! Here is a little bit of what you can do in Agassiz over the next two months.
The Agassiz Library is not just a place for reading it is your entertainment source for building imagination, developing creativity and finding your passion. Every summer the library puts on their Summer Reading Club. There are opportunities to win great prizes when you read books and record them on your record sheet. Every Friday from July 3 to August 28 from 1 to 2 p.m., come in to the library and do a ‘Build It’ Activity. Each time you go you will receive a free pass to the Ferny Coombe Pool. How cool is that?
