Quick Shots #6: MLK Jr Library Kicks Off "Summer Read" with Street Festival

June 1st: There was a Street Festival going on outside the MLK Jr. Memorial Library. DC Public Library's "Summer Read" program got off to a lively start. The Summer Read program encourages reading and has four age-specific themes, so, sign up and get involved its fun.
I had missed the kick off festival on my calendar, so I was surprised  when I was walking down 10th Street NW and heard the music. I walked over and got some pretty fun shots of the activities - glad I made it.

Yup! this was my meeter-greeter

and of course there was disagreement as to who should meet and greet me!!!!

So I ended up with this chap??

All ages were there, and they all seemed to be having fun

even if the fun was a little exasperating at times

But the music was fun with a definite International feel

A wonderful event put on by DCPL/MLK Jr. Memorial Library, and introducing a program that I am sure many DC residents will enjoy and benefit from. BRAVO DCPL
