The Boardman library hosted an indoor carnival games night July 11.
Children’s librarian Karen Saunders said that the games were a mixture of purchased games and homemade.
“We wanted to do the games outside along with the petting zoo but the weather didn’t cooperate,” Saunders said.
As children attended the event they got a tickets at a table at the door.
Children could spend as long as they wanted playing games around the library’s meeting room.
“They’re fun, it’s just a fun thing for families to be able to come do at the library,” Saunders said.
Games included bowling, dart throwing, hula hooping, ring toss and more. After they finished playing the games children were able to turn in their tickets for a number of prizes.
They could choose from a kazoo, water gun, water bottle, or a sand shovel all provided by the library. Saunders said the petting zoo was rescheduled for October 11.
