The Dayton Valley Library kicked off its Summer Reading Program with a huge party on June 13.

More than 150 adults and children came out to play games, meet community superheroes, enjoy popcorn and hot dogs and sign up for the program.

This year's theme for all five branches of the Lyon County Library program is "Super Heroes." Some children came dressed as their favorite heroes from books, comics or TV.

They were able to meet some of our local heroes such as Ron Bell with the Nevada Division of the Pony Express.

Ron told about past heroes of Nevada's history and shared stories of recent re-rides.

The kids also got big hugs from Smokey the Bear and talked to Nevada Division of Forestry rangers from East Lake Station.

Lyon County Sheriff's volunteer in policing Bob Shulman was there to talk with kids and parents.

Becky Boehner shared information from the Lyon County Department of Human Services.

It was a day of sharing between the Dayton community and local heroes, the library and local and state resource partners.

Several local businesses and organizations are superheroes for the Dayton Valley Library as they provided financial resources to help make this event a success.

Special thanks go out to Cassinelli Landscape and Construction Services and ARMAC Construction, which grilled hot dogs and served up a free lunch.

The Builders Association of Northern Nevada provided a grant that paid for many of the prizes that will be given to successful readers who complete the Summer Reading Program.

The Dayton Valley Library also thanks Smith's Grocery for prizes and support and Friends of the Library volunteers who staffed many of the games and provided financial support.

Lastly, the Dayton Valley Library thanks all the library patron teenagers who willingly shared their time for the benefit of other community residents. It was a positive day and demonstrated the vital role that the library can play in the community.
