Kids Craft Workshop: DIY Kaleidoscopes

The 2025 Summer Reading Program crafts some fun on Thursday, July 10 with Kids Craft Workshop making DIY Kaleidoscopes at 11:00 AM at both the Eastpoint and Carrabelle Branch Libraries. This will be a creative program for kids where they can discover how to make their own kaleidoscopes. This program is best suited for those ages 6-12 years old. 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.
