Even though temperatures have only flirted with 90 degrees in the first week of summer, it was still plenty warm on Tuesday for the Douglas County Public Library's water bottle rocket building event.
Children 6 and older gathered at James Lee Park in Indian Hills, and launched 2-liter plastic bottles using water and air pressure.
The water bottle rocket launch was just one of the several events sponsored by the library during the Make a Spash summer reading program.
