Haynie Public Library was transformed into a studio last week as children learned about photography, had their pictures taken and took pictures of their own.
During “Act IV: Pictures of Me,” children at the morning program were each individually photographed. At the afternoon program, the children learned about photography from local photographer Stacey Foster and then took pictures of each other and their surroundings.
The summer reading program as a whole concluded Friday evening at “An Evening of the Arts.” The creative works of the summer program participants were on display and live entertainment was provided.
Seth Heinzig gave an encore performance of “Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus” and also performed a drum solo. Artists Alexis Wiseman and Kristin Smith sketched a still life, and Foster was on hand to answer any photography questions.
“We’re very happy that so many Prague children came to the reading programs this year,” librarian Pam Batson said. “We just hope that people will continue to come to our other great children’s programs!”
The next program scheduled at the library is a screening of “Kung Fu Panda” at 10 a.m. Wednesday, July 8. The movie is best for children ages 5 and up. Children can bring their own drinks and a blanket to sit on, and Vision Bank will provide popcorn.
