MEDINA – Library users had a fun-filled summer this year, said Kristine Mostyn, library director.

“Offering 45 programs over 6 weeks, we had 1,337 people learn how to make Nautical Knots, watch a movie with us, or learn about photography,” she said. “We visited the Iroquois Wildlife Preserve, created a Natural History Museum, sampled new recipes,

studied nature, and marveled at the stars. As part of the Library Adventure Map contest, we had over 175 visitors from other NIOGA libraries.”

One program helped educate children about the stars.

Storytime at the library was well attended.

“To say we traveled far and wide, through time and space seems appropriate,” Mostyn said. “We had a fantastic time learning and teaching alongside each and every one of you that attended. Thank you for a wonderful summer. Watch for more fun with Lee-Whedon to come in the fall.”

Some artifacts were on display for one of the programs where a natural history museum was created.
