Local law enforcement and EMS responded to a different kind of call on June 18 at the Key Largo library. This one involved some fun games with kids. Part of Key Largo library’s first-responder appreciation program, deputies and investigators from the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation officers and Key Largo EMS joined forces with elementary-age children for a series of games. A “Bucket Brigade” contest saw kids and first responders teaming up to pass coconuts down the line. The “Little Lifesaver” relay saw teams inflating a beach ball to relay down the line. Another game tested the contestants’ ability to balance a book on their heads. Librarian Joy Smith provided the instructions for each game. Following the fun activities, the kids were able to get a look at the sheriff’s patrol vehicles and the Key Largo ambulance.
