Children’s Summer Reading

We would like to invite everyone from birth to 12 years old to participate in our awesome summer reading program for kids. This year’s theme is Fizz! Boom! Read!, and it’s all about science and experiments and reading and explosions. Come to the library or register online at the library’s website to receive your summer reading log. The reading log has ten test tubes with a word on each test tube. To fill in a test tube, either read a book or do a project related to that word. For example, to fill in the Nature test tube, read a book about nature, or go outside and make a leaf rubbing, or count all the birds you can see in an hour, or some other project you come up with using your imagination. After filling in all the test tubes, come back to the library and turn in your completed reading log for a prize—a free book! Then take another reading log and do it again to earn a second book.

In addition to our regular storytimes, there are many additional activities for children of all ages during the summer.

* Take part in our Summer Art Institute on Mondays at 1 p.m. each week.

* Meet the Book Wagon at a park on Tuesdays. Hear stories and get a free book!

* Come on Wednesdays at 2 p.m. to see special programs and hear stories.

* Join our beginning knitting and crocheting club at 4 p.m. on Wednesday afternoons.

* Watch book-related movies on Thursdays at 2 p.m. to get out of the summer heat.

* Play in our Hands-On Science Stations on Fridays from 12:30–1:30 p.m.
