Oxford Library To Host ‘Night Before Summer’ Book Event

OXFORD — Oxford Public Library will present a special ‘Twas the Night Before Summer event on Friday, June 20, as part of a national event to kick off summer and to promote reading all across the country. Over 2,000 libraries and bookstores nationally are celebrating the beginning of summer with this event.

The event will feature a reading of the new children’s book ‘Twas the Night Before Summer, children making Luna moth wings, coloring pages, free stickers, and other fun activities for children.

‘Twas the Night Before Summer, which features a glow-in-the-dark cover, is a tale of Luna Bee May, a Luna moth with a warm, southern charm who helps two young children rediscover the magic of summer. It was written by the award-winning children’s author Anne Margaret Lewis and illustrated by Wendy Popko, whose artwork has been called “creative freestyling Monet.”
