Celebrate a “summer of reading fearlessly” as Ketchum’s Community Library throws an open house on the lawn and plaza from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 18.
There’ll be free books and activities for kids, music, readings and refreshments, including Toni’s ice cream. And librarians will highlight some of the diverse services they offer as kids prepare to return to school and the library’s summer challenge to read fearlessly ends, according to Carter Hedberg, the library’s director of Philanthropy.
Several community members have agreed to take part in a special “Read Out” looking at the question “What makes you feel fearless?” They are author Julie Weston; Tammy Davis, executive director of the Crisis Hotline, and Luis Alberto Lecanda, a community activist who just returned from Austria where he was training for Mexico’s Olympic Nordic team.
Local musicians Aly Wepplo and David Janeski—aka The Beverly Lovers—will also perform.
