Effingham, IL-(Effingham Radio)- The Effingham Public Library is celebrating Family Read Night by holding a Bluey Bash on Wednesday, November 13th at 5:00 PM in the Effingham High School’s Hearts Rock Cafe.
Join them in celebration of Family Read Night with some Bluey-filled fun. There will be Bluey themed activities like Keepy Uppy, Granny photo booth, and Bingo’s bingo as well as a Bluey coloring page station, and other crafts. Bluey will also be there in person to meet the kids and take pictures with them. In addition to Bluey, there will be dogs from the community in attendance including Effingham Police Department K-9, Deputy Dale. Kids will also have a chance to sit with a therapy dog and read to them.
Effingham residents will have the opportunity to register for a library card at the event and non- residents will get information on how they can get a library card. Information on the library’s 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program will also be available.
