The 2015 Back to School Bash at the Bonne Terre Memorial Library was well attended and has only grown since.

The 2015 Back to School Bash at the Bonne Terre Memorial Library was well attended and has only grown since.

With summer coming to an end, many kids are dreading the thought of going back to school next month. To help soften the blow, the Bonne Terre Memorial Library is offering a back to school bash for kids in the community to come out and have a good time.

The Back to School Bash will be held Aug. 19 from 10 a.m. to noon. The bash is put on by the Friends of the Library, according to Childrens Librarian Rachel Howard.

Its the Friends of the Librarys way of doing something with the community, she said. The Friends and some of our staff did some brainstorming and came up with it.

The library has held the Back to School Bash for several years now, with each year being more successful than the last. Howard said last years event brought close to 100 kids. The event will take place outside, weather permitting and will feature games, prizes, food and a magic show.

Howard said the event has been so well attended because of the librarys involvement with local children.

The kids really enjoy our library, Howard said. We try to let them have fun all year round.

If anybody wants to have some fun, come and see us, Howard said.
