One tough balloon

Faith Abell, 7, left, and Khanan Hernandez, 8, right, struggled to burst a water balloon over the head of teen volunteer Leah Moore during a Summer Reading Club session at Springfield library on Thursday, July 21. The balloons used that day proved tough–but in the end not impossible–to break. Children are encouraged to read books throughout the week, then gather each Thursday starting at 10:30 a.m. for an hour of games, stories and crafts.
