Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis is in the Library!

COLUMBUS, N. C., (June 4, 2018) ­– Rock and roll into summer at the Polk County Public Libraries! On Tuesday, June 12, the 2018 Summer Reading Program, “Libraries Rock,” will kick off with a Sock Hop at the Columbus Library. This blast from the past will have both the young and the young at heart be-boppin’ back to the 1950s for a night of swinging fun. Come dressed in your poodle skirts and leather jackets. From 5:30-6:00pm, get into the groove and learn traditional dances from the 1950s with instructors from Blue Ridge Dance Lab. At 6:00pm, dance the night away with music provided by Elvis tribute artist, Chris Bishop, and his blue suede shoes. There will be a 50s costume contest, root beer floats, Twister, hopscotch, a limbo contest, vinyl record crafts, a Jello recipe potluck, and opportunities to learn more about the 2018 Summer Reading Program.
