Visit the Library to become a super hero. The San Juan Island Library commissioned Dexter Prescott, a Friday Harbor Elementary School 6th grader, to design two super hero characters as part of the 2015 Summer Reading Program.
The designs created by Prescott were enlarged to life-size and are currently on display at the Library for the public to view and photograph. Prescott’s super heroes also will be on display during the Fair at the Library’s booth.
The 2015 Summer Reading Program theme is “Every Hero Has a Story.” As part of the theme and in addition to Prescott’s creations, Library staff invented super hero alter egos and have been hosting super hero storytimes for toddlers and preschoolers.
“Dexter’s designs far exceeded any expectations we had for the commissioned work,” said Melina Lagios, Youth Services Coordinator at the Library. “We were thrilled to work with him. He is exceptionally creative and his ideas matched very well with our super hero theme.”
