DAYTON- The summer reading program at Dayton Memorial Library is coming to an end on Aug. 10, as preparations begin for the new school year, according to Vicki Zoller at the library.
Zoller said a summer reading program ice cream social is planned for 1 pm. on Aug. 10, and winners of the reading challenge will be announced at that time. Two adults and one child each from several age groups will receive gift certificates. There will also be fun with water balloons, she said.
On Mondays this summer, about twenty children have been working to create a poster featuring the Jolly Green Giant, to be entered in the Columbia County Fair, in September.
Zoller said the children will continue putting the finishing touches on the poster, and they can come to the library anytime to help get it ready for the fair.
Adults, bring your own beverage and prepare to have literary fun at the next "Book Chat," which will take place Aug. 20 at 6 p.m. Participants are not required to read a particular book, but are required to have fun with literary games, hold literary conversations, and eat pie. "There is always pie," said pie-maker Zoller.
"Book Chat" will be held on a regular basis, every third Saturday of the month, she said.
Zoller said that head librarian Dusty Waltner is hosting the continuing writer's group at the library, which will meet again on August 26. She said the schedule will complement Weller Library in Waitsburg, who is also hosting a writer's group.

Join with Lois Hemphill at the Dayton Memorial Library for holiday card-making activities, which will take place around holiday times
Card stock will be provided by the library, and participants should "bring their imagination", old calendars, old greeting cards, and other items, to do the rest, Zoller said.
The new library cards are ready for distribution along with a free lanyard. Check at the front desk for that, Zoller said.
