(Versailles, IN) – Summer programming for 2023 is officially underway at Tyson Library following last Saturday’s Touch-A-Truck event.
About 200 people attended the event in which youngsters explored different vehicles parked along West Tyson Street in Versailles.
Drivers answered questions from youngsters and their families, helped the kids climb into vehicles, and encouraged them to honk the horn or start the sirens.
This event was made possible with the support of many area businesses and first responders who donated their time: the Versailles Police Department, the Ripley County Sheriff’s Office, Indiana State Police, Versailles Fire Rescue, Ripley County EMS, the Versailles Street Department, South Ripley Community Schools, Southeastern Indiana REMC, Affordable Todd’s Wrecker and Repair, 3C Express, and Crum Trucking.
Tyson Library provided BINGO cards that the kids could fill by stopping at each vehicle and getting the driver’s signature.
After filling their BINGO cards the kids got to pick a prize from the library’s Treasure Box.
The library staff was also available to sign kids up for summer classes and provide information on the adult programs and events scheduled to take place this season.
It’s not too late to join the library for summer reading.
