The Walker branch of the Kent District Library launched the annual summer reading program with a summer carnival on Monday, June 11.

This year, the library partnered with the City of Walker to create a fun event with an inflatable obstacle course, carnival games, music by The Porters, and food. Many local companies and groups helped to sponsor the carnival, and most of them had their own booths at the carnival. Costumed character Katie the Elephant also made an appearance.

Kids of all ages lined up to run through the obstacle course, win prizes, and participate in the book walk. Guests also tried playing some of the instruments that The Porters brought with them. Hundreds of people came out to participate in the fun, according to library officials.

The summer reading program continues through the summer at KDL branches, including Walker. For information on registration, visit the library, 4293 Remembrance Road NW; visit the website, https://www.kdl.org/locations/walker, or call 784-2007.
