SUMMIT, NJ - The renovated Children’s Room at the Summit Free Public Library will officially re-open June 18, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony slated for 1 p.m.

The bright and colorful room features new carpeting and child-sized tables and chairs. It includes a Makerspace, a do-it-yourself space where kids can create, invent and learn. Second-grader Alexavier Tolentino came up with the name for the library’s new Makerspace -- "Think It Lab."

This dynamic new space was made possible by the City of Summit Common Council, the Summit Free Public Library Foundation, and donations from many Summit residents.

Post ribbon cutting, light refreshments will be served. At 2 p.m., kids in grades 1-5 are invited to watch "Friends.com(edy)",  a live action play presented by Children’s Librarian Jeslyn Wheeless, about a Mad Scientist who programs an enormous computer in 1963 to find 'BFFs' for new kids in town who play baseball, soccer, karate, and guitar.

"On Your Mark, Get Set, Read" Program

Readers of all ages will explore all things sports, fitness and games this summer as Summit Public Library presents “On Your Mark, Get Set, Read” during the 2016 summer library program, which began on June 13 for teens and starts June 18 for everyone else.
