�Estamos celebrandos cinquinta veranos de divertiendos en la biblioteca!

We’re celebrating 50 years of summer fun at the library!

Come on out and celebrate at a party right down the street.

Get a book with your library card and you’ll be in for a treat.

Fifty years of summer fun. Reading books is how it’s done.

Celebrate. Celebrate. Time to celebrate the summer and 50 years.

Celebrate. Celebrate. Time to celebrate the summer and 50 years of reading.

Oh. Ok. So it’s a party? And at the library?�

What could be better?

Reading and a party mushed together.

It’s like every kid’s dream come true.�

I’m so happy!

Raise your arms and clap your hands.

Move up and down with the beat. Move up and down!

Show the world how fun it can be.

See how many books you can read.

Fifty years of summer fun. Reading books is how it’s done.

Celebrate. Celebrate. Time to celebrate the summer and 50 years.

Celebrate. Celebrate. Time to celebrate the summer and 50 years of reading.

Hey what are you reading?

It’s a book about turtles.

Wow. That looks like a great book!

Can I check it out when you’re done? Yeah!�

I love summer!� I love summer!

�Que viva la biblioteca!

Yehah! The library!

Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo.

Celebrate. Celebrate the summer and 50 years.

Celebrate. Celebrate. Time to celebrate the summer and 50 years.

Celebrate. Celebrate. Time to celebrate the summer and 50 years of reading.

Celebrate. Celebrate. Time to celebrate the summer and 50 years.

Celebrate. Celebrate. Time to celebrate the summer and 50 years of reading.

The library! Woo hoo! At my library.

We’re going to the library, going to the library!
