Peterborough Town Library, 2 Concord St., will host The Folksoul Band for an outdoor performance on the library terrace Thursday Aug. 3, at 6:30 p.m.
This concert celebrates the conclusion of the library’s summer reading program “Roll Into Reading.”
The Folksoul Band creates new music from old traditions, combining horns, vocals, wild rhythms, and New Orleans Mardi Gras. The show will take place rain or shine and move inside if needed.
Summer reading program participants who turn in their completed reading logs will get a coupon for a free Kona Ice at the concert and may take home a free book of their choice. All are welcome to attend the concert and to purchase their own Kona Ice if they wish. The Kona Ice truck will be at the library from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The show is free and open to all ages.
Book prizes for the summer reading program are donated by the Kiwanis Club of Peterborough. Two children’s bicycles are donated by the Altemont Masonic Lodge No. 26.
The free Kona Ices for summer reading participants are provided by the Friends of the Peterborough Town Library, who annually support the library’s entire summer reading program.
This summer, the library registered over 140 readers. In addition to the library’s core literacy programs such as story times and book clubs and the annual summer reading challenge, the library also offered programs for all ages like the “drive-in” cardboard car movie, a rolling thunderstorm STEM event, weekly scavenger hunts, Lego Saturdays and two dessert sushi workshops.
