Perry Public Library FamilyFest

Summer officially begins with the Perry Public Library FamilyFest! This exciting, family-friendly event will kick off our highly anticipated Summer Library Program. Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 6^th, from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm, for this can’t-miss event. Bring your entire family to enjoy a variety of free activities, including the Foam Blaster, giant bubbles, outdoor games, a gaming truck filled with a selection of consoles, balloon twisters, a dunk tank, and a petting zoo!
 
Plus, this year, history will come alive at FamilyFest as Live History pays a visit to Perry! Live History, an international touring theater company, specializes in bringing your local history to life. FamilyFest participants will experience Live History’s interactive theatrical experience by joining in missions, tasks, and puzzle-based interactions with live performers – all based on Perry’s unique and rich history! “In Time” is the perfect free, immersive experience to kick off our Summer Library Program, celebrating America’s 250^th Anniversary with the theme “Read, White, and Blue.”
 
Adult patrons are invited to join us for a special encore evening experience geared toward an older audience from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm! This experience for patrons 18+ will include more sophisticated clues and exciting challenges. Be sure to mark your calendars and invite your friends for this free summer event.
 
The Perry Volunteer Fire Department and the Friends of the Perry Public Library will also offer a $2.00 meal of either a hot dog or pork loin as a fundraiser.
