Using Perler beads, participants will design at least one unique Perler bead character. Staff will help finish each character by using a clothes iron to melt the beads into their final form.

Summer Reading is a free 8-week program at the Public Library that encourages babies, children, tweens, teens, and adults to read throughout the summer. Everyone can register, read, and be eligible for fun incentives (prizes). There are free programs and workshops in our libraries all summer long, supported by the generosity of the Friends for the Public Library. Visit http://abqlibrary.org/summerreading for a full schedule!

This is a Tween Summer Reading Program event. Attendees ages 9 to 12 may enter to win a grand prize. Space is limited. Please register online or call Ernie Pyle Library at 256-2065.
