Summer Reading Program Library Camp
The St. Michael Public Library is offering a Summer Reading Program Library Camp on July 22 and 23.  Two sessions are offered each day. The morning session, 10:30 a.m. to noon, will be for children ages 5-7; the afternoon session, 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., is for children from 8-11. Both sessions have similar content based on the Summer Reading Program theme, Dig Into Reading. Children will make a worm motel, take a hike and learn about underground animals. The afternoon session will be more in depth and have more difficult activities to engage the older children. The library currently has a waiting list for the first session and openings for the second session.

Words That Attract  
The St. Michael Public Library is offering a program for ages 11 to 18 called Words That Attract on Friday, July 26, 1-3 p.m. Teens will work with an artist to create magnetic poetry word strips that adhere to any steel surface, then design and decorate a box to contain the strips, creating a magnetic poetry kit. The attendance limit is 20 and preregistration is required. This program is funded in part with money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
