Want a quick heads up on what to expect this summer? Miss Mary put this video together for our Pell Elementary students and we thought we would share with everyone!

Activities to enjoy all summer long at the Library:
- Escape Room Kits: Check out an escape room kit with one of our new ocean stories! Rescue the Mermaid’s Crown from a ghastly gang of swashbuckling Pirates or take on the Challenger box and escape the Bermuda Triangle by digging deep into its mysterious history. Click here to see if there is one available today.
- I Spy (throughout department): Each week we change the location of things you need to find and you can receive a prize!
- I Spy (tabletop): We will have a tabletop I Spy challenge and you will have to find different animals on it each week! This activity is sponsored by the Friends of the Newport Public Library.
- Sunken Sites Tournament: Each week of the Summer Reading Challenge you can vote for your favorite underwater location! Over seven weeks of voting, 16 sunken sites, including the Great Barrier Reef, Titanic shipwreck, the Mariana Trench and more, will be whittled down to one super-cool, submarine winner!
Summer Reading is for the whole family!
