Rochester Public Library's (RPL) Summer Playlist is finally back next week! You might think this is just for kids, but it's for you no matter your age.

Last year over 4900 people took advantage of the Summer Playlist and starting July 6th, 2021, you can check out your summer playlist and start...well, playing. The whole program is "designed to encourage reading, creating, caring, playing, and growing."

Planning started months ago, and usually the kick-off is in June. But...there was a delay. RPL's Karen Lemke gives us the lowdown.

“Summer Playlist bags are a hallmark part of our program...This year’s supply of bags was interrupted by shipping delays which, in turn, affected the launch of our program."

RPL knows you don't do the program just for the bag (but the bag is cool and everyone loves some swag), so instead of delaying any longer, next week is the week Lemke said,

“We’ve decided to launch the program anyway, with an IOU for the bags...We’ve
waited long enough, and families are ready to start on their Playlist before summer’s over.”

Activity logs are available at the Library and Bookmobile starting Tuesday, July 6, and library visitors can pick up Summer Playlist bags later this summer.

It's an 80's Weekend starting Friday at 5, so check out these awesome 80's things...

Huge list of "Cool Stuff" that kids in the 80's and 90's were all about.

Everything from the 80's and 90's screams "Cool!". Ok, looking back at photos of kids in their bright neon shorts and Hypercolor shirts where their armpits were pitted out, that really doesn't look all that "cool" today but if you were a kid back then, we sure felt like we knew style. Go through the list and see how many of these items you had in your room or used back in the day.
