Our local library is really cool. Every summer they run a themed children's program. Everything from hunting for buried treasure in the books they find at the library to camping out to this year's "Read & Get Moving" (combining a reading program with activities to get kids active too). One of the first years that my son and I participated (he was only two--but there was a level for pre-readers). The theme was "Science & Fiction." I thought it was SO cool that they had this giant model of the Enterprise displayed above old main entrance.

How cool! I love when libraries do fun things for kids to encourage reading.
I love it when libraries have events like that. It makes the library more of a community center, and - oh look! there are books here, too. It's great when kids can 'discover' books while they're doing other cool stuff.
Oh, I do love when libraries do this kind of thing. Awesome photos!
Thanks for visiting my blog.
I hope it created a lot of interest!
I love programs at the library, we've been participating at ours for about five years now and the kids love it.
That is so neat, I love it!
A giant model of the Enterprise would get ME in the door! That is a great idea, though, to get the young people interested.
As a trekkie, I would swoon over this display. :D
My husband would have loved that! He's watching the original Star Trek series now.
@smellincoffee: I did swoon over it back in '94 when it was on display. I went to the library with my son, saw it, swooned, went home and got my camera.
I would have loved seeing something like this in my library too - I love Star Trek!
Awesome! That is a great theme. Thank you for sharing and for stopping by my blog. :)
I'm a fan of the older [original] version of Star Trek -- but not a "Trekkie" or anything.
I love Jeopardy even more, so I guess that makes me a "Trebekkie"?
Nice pics. Our Library never seems to do anything nice and theme-y like that.
