🐉🌮 Storytime + tacos = the perfect summer day! 🌮🐉
Today, we had so much fun welcoming two groups from YWCA Summer Camp to the Main Library!
We shared laughs while reading "Dragons Love Tacos", then created our own tasty tacos... making sure to keep the spicy ...salsa far away from any dragons! 🔥😂
It was a day full of books, creativity, delicious fun, and unforgettable memories. Thank you to everyone who joined us—we loved having you at the library! ❤️📚

🐉🌮 What do dragons, tacos, and summer camp have in common? An unforgettable day at Rapides Parish Library! 🌮🐉
Today, we were thrilled to welcome two groups from YWCA Summer Camp to the Main Library for a fun-filled storytime adventure!
Together, we read the beloved ...favorite "Dragons Love Tacos", laughed through every page, and then put the story into action by making our very own tacos. (Of course, we remembered to hold the spicy salsa! 😉🔥)
Programs like these remind us that libraries are so much more than books—they're places where stories come to life, imaginations grow, and memories are made.
Thank you to the campers and staff from YWCA Summer Camp for spending the day with us. We loved every minute and hope to see you back at the library again soon!
