Sequim children got to sing, dance and kick up some dirt with Andy Furgeson of Red Yarn at his barn dance on July 19 at the Sequim Library for the North Olympic Library System’s Summer Reading Program. He performed with puppets encouraging children to sing and dance and later in the day he led participants in making their own puppets at a special workshop.

The Summer Reading Program has several more programs lined up at the Sequim Library, 630 N. Sequim Ave., through Aug. 18, including Summer Science with hands-on experiments from 10:30 a.m.-noon Friday, July 27, and Friday, Aug. 10; Sequim Irrigation Festival’s royalty hosts another Princess Storytime at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 2, and the Escape Snape: Harry Potter Escape Room Challenge at 4 p.m. Friday, Aug. 3.
