Pierce Co. Public Library ends summer reading program with some dinosaur-sized fun
The Pierce County Public Library marked the finish of this summer’s dinosaur-themed summer reading program with a celebration that included arts and craft, a petting zoo, a wildlife exhibit and free snow cones and Italian ices from Chrissy’s Sweets and Treats courtesy of a donation by the Pierce County Friends of the Library.
