Sweet Incentive For Free Avon Library Program

AVON, CT — A special Avon Free Public Library program on Saturday may help stave off summer brain rot.

But it won't stop a summer brain freeze.

The library on Saturday, June 28, is breaking out some new word games for those aged 16 and up, and it is including free ice cream sundaes as an incentive.

The in-person event, part of the library's adult summer reading program, will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. at the library, located at 281 Country Club Road, Avon.

"We'll supply the games and ice cream," wrote the library in an announcement. "Just bring your taste buds and brain."

Summer Brain Rot is a phenomenon, especially in academic settings, where people tend to lose their sharpness absent the mental challenges of school.

Of course, word games are seen as a way to help stimulate the brain to think again.

And the ice cream? That stimulates the taste buds and pleasure receptors in the brain — just don't eat it too fast.
