A Flash Mob? At the Library?!


On Saturday, June 27, 80 teens and adults descended on Central Library to perform a dance routine to Mama Mia! as part of our Get Caught Reading kickoff.

Thanks so much to everyone who came out to dance, and everyone who gathered to watch! If you missed it, you can see the photos and read all the details on TATAL, our teen blog.



We're especially thankful to Bowen McCauley Dance, the Friends of the Library, and Wolf Trap.

If your child or teen hasn't registered for Get Caught Reading, don't worry. The final date to sign up is Wednesday, Aug. 31, and the final date to turn in reading logs / win a prize is Saturday, Sept. 10.
