The Canfield library hosted a Roaring Safari Party on June 13.
Librarian Ashley Potopovich hosted the event in celebration of the upcoming release the live action “Lion King” movie.
“It’s just a fun way to come and play games and celebrate the ‘Lion King,’ which everyone loves,” she said.
Potopovich set up a number of stations around the room for children to go to.
Children were able to create crafts, including a lion mask and a safari sticker scene.
Potopovich also organized a number of games for the event.
Children played putt putt and animal themed bowling.
The library also provided bubbles and a bug hunt for children to play with.
Snacks of animal crackers and water were also available for children and their families.
A number of the “Lion King” movies were available for rent by the community.
Other library branches will also be hosting similar parties before the opening day.
