Mid-Continent Public Library Reading Rocket

Join us this Saturday at Macken Park for the annual Family Fun Day!

From 10 am - 2 pm there will be fun for the whole family with activities around physical activity, nutrition and healthy eating, safety, mental health and wellness, education and literacy, healthcare resources and more!

We hope to see you there!

Check this one off Ms. Lisa's bucket list - I got to operate the trash truck at West Platte Elementary's Touch-a-Truck event tonight in Weston!

This was my dream job as a tiny tot and am over the moon that I finally got to run this amazing machine.

Now back to my regularly scheduled Rocket driving instead. It's a pretty cool job too! 🚀
