Oceans of Possibilities
at BPL
Summer Reading 2022

Registration begins June 1st!

Join BPL as we sail the seven seas (and our Great Lakes). We're celebrating another fun-filled Summer Reading Program while exploring " Oceans of Possibilities!"  

We are going to meet a brand-new interstellar addition to the Puppet Lab, who wants to know everything about the oceans of Earth. Through silly antics and hilarious interaction, we'll take a close and fun look at sea life: prehistoric and present, learn about boats and transportation, and the mysteries of the deep. Everyone can get involved with engaging activities and crafts, making fossils, ships, sea creatures and more.

You won't want to miss the first "live and in person" Summer Reading Program in 2 years! The fun begins June 23rd and continues every Thursday through July 28th, when we host our finale party. We can't wait to dive into the Oceans of Possibilities with you!

Registration begins June 1st, details coming soon!
