Summer vacation is just getting started, but the Dublin Public Library is preparing to give students and families a boost for the upcoming year.
The library will host its annual back-to-school fair from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 25.
Dublin Public Library director Adina Dunn told Beneath the Surface News that it's partnering with Dublin Lions Club and Dublin Dairy Queen to serve hot dogs and ice cream.
“We are so excited for this year's event!” Adina said.
"The mission of the fair is to support families in our community and allow every student to feel dignity and pride on the first day of school."
There will be special activities for kids including a foam machine from 12-1 p.m.
Volunteers with Shear Heaven and All About You Spa & Salon will provide free haircuts to children beginning about 8:30 a.m.
“Last year, our back-to-school fair was a huge success, with more than 200 children and families participating," Adina said.
“We had many sponsors and the community support was, without a doubt, the reason we were able to reach so many children.
"Let’s make this year even better!"
The library still needs a few additional items to make this event a success.
• Personal hygiene items like soap, shampoo, conditioner and deodorant
• New or gently used makeup bags
• New or gently used backpacks
If you would like to make a donation, call Adina at 254-445-4141.
