Summer Reading Program 2013

Join us this summer as we "Dig into Reading". Registration will begin on Monday June 3. Children can register to read or to be read to for five hours from the day they register until August 5. Each week, children may bring their reading time log to the library to have it signed by a librarian. When they do they will receive a sticker for their wall chart and a small prize. Children who reach their goal will receive a ticket to the finale pool party! Lots of great programs are scheduled as well as Story Times, Story Times at the Park, and Toddler Time. We are also trying to start a book club for kids in 2nd and 3rd grade and 4th and 5th grade. Please let me know if you are interested.
