FCPL’s Summer Reading Program Presents Animal Camouflage

The 2025 Summer Reading Program continues with some of nature’s artists on Monday, June 23 with Animal Camouflage at 11:00 AM at the Eastpoint Branch Library. In this program, participants will learn about camouflaged animals through fun activities and explore why animals have different colors, such as for communication, mating, and protection. Attendees will also observe live animals showcasing these techniques, offering a hands-on experience in understanding nature’s wonders. Sponsored by the Friends of the Franklin County Public Libraries, the Summer Reading Program features imaginative activities for all ages. All library programs are free with all materials provided and open to the public with no library card required.

This year’s Summer Reading Program theme, “Color Our World,” highlights art and creativity at the Franklin County Public Libraries. The program is designed to inspire and engage readers of all ages through a variety of artistic expressions. Guests are invited to celebrate every page, paint stroke, and performance that adds a little more color to the world.

Summer Reading is an annual program that brings children, teens, and families to local public libraries for reading and activities. A Summer Reading Program:

• encourages lifelong reading habits,
• supports reluctant readers with activities,
• helps children maintain their skills over the summer,
• generates interest in the library and books, and it being summer,
• can just be good fun and provide an opportunity for family time.
