FARGO, NORTH DAKOTA – The Fargo Public Library has three events scheduled for Friday, July 10, for kids and teens as part of the Summer Reading Challenge.
First, area youngsters are invited to the children’s area at the downtown Main Library to find hidden dinosaurs as part of the Adopt-A-Dino event on Friday, July 10, starting at 11 a.m. Each child can search for a prehistoric friend to bring home, fill out an adoption certificate and get to know their dinosaur with a couple of related activities. One dinosaur per child, and no registration is required. For further details, contact the Children’s Services Department at 701.241.1495 or Ki...@fargolibrary.org.
Next, as part of the library’s summer movie series, the Dr. James Carlson Library will host a screening of the movie “The Good Dinosaur” (rated PG) on Friday, July 10, at 1 p.m. All ages are welcome to attend this screening, and free popcorn will be served.
