Free family fun gets underway at Salem Public Library

Throughout the summer, children and families are invited to enjoy fun, free programs at Salem Public Library. Programs are offered Tuesday-Friday as part of the 2010 "Make a Splash – READ" Summer Reading Club at the Central Library, 585 Liberty St. SE.

 

Events during the week of June 21 include:

 

SUMMER PERFORMERS: The Reptile Man – THREE SHOWS! – at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 23 in Loucks Auditorium at Salem Public Library. Richard Ritchey aka "The Reptile Man" awes and amazes audiences with fascinating information about the reptiles and amphibians that he brings to the program. Seating is limited. Free tickets are available beginning at 10 a.m. for shows on the same day. Doors open 15 minutes before each show. Tickets are valid only until 10 minutes before performance time.  If seats are not filled at that time, we will open the doors to waiting non-ticket holders.
