We LOVE the library. We are blessed with so many great Libraries close to us that offer so many cool Summer reading Programs & Activities.

Summer reading programs give Libraries a chance to get Babies-Teens in the libraries to see what a fun and exciting place it can be, especially over the summer months. Petting zoos, Thematic Storytime, Plays, Crafts, Family events and SO MUCH MORE. Check out all of the Libraries below for More info on their Summer Reading Programs.

Get in the Game, Read  runs June 9, 2016 – August 5, 2016

Students will only be given prizes for reading. For every 30 minutes students read in the library they will be able to sign up for a weekly drawing. I will have a sign-up sheet available for them to sign in with whomever is attending the circulation desk. After they have completed their 30 minutes they can be handed a sign-up slip. Drawings per month based on number of prizes. All supplies for the summer reading program are provided by the library at no cost to the students. This summer reading program is targeting young adults (5th-12th graders), but we don’t mind if some younger kids show up.
