· All ages Library West Patio Let’s celebrate the start of Summer Reading on the Library’s West Patio with punk rock band RLY ORY (pronounced early’oree)! As a sister/ sister/ dad band, they play originals and punk covers, influenced by Green Day, The Ramones, The Clash, & NOFX. Their show is fast-paced and energetic with good grooves and great singing. The music will start at 6 pm and run until 6:30 pm, so if you need a quieter celebration option, join us after 6:30 pm. Come pick up everything you need for Summer Reading for Kids, Teens, and Adults: Summer Reading BINGO boards, summer brochures, and other resources! Librarians will be there to chat and share information about all that the Library has to offer in summer (and year-round). Lawn games will also be out to play. Special thanks to the Friends of Longmont Library for funding this event and all of our Summer Reading special events and prizes!
