'So Long Summer'

The North Little Rock Public Library System hosts a "So Long Summer Library Adventure" party, 4-6:30 p.m. Thursday across the Laman Plaza, main entrance and lecture hall of the William F. Laman Public Library, 2801 Orange St., North Little Rock. A classic backyard theme includes lawn games, water inflatables (among them, Fire Island, a 50-foot inflatable water obstacle course), snacks and a Tiny-Tots Zone. In the Lecture Hall, a running slideshow will showcase memorable moments from the library's summer programs. Guests can enter, through July 31, to win goodie bags filled with fun surprises. In case of inclement weather, most activities will move indoors. Call (501) 758-1720 or visit NLRLibrary.org/sla2024 for more information.
