Summer Reading Programs

The following two reading programs begin July 7 and end August 15. Pre- registration is not required – sign-up when you are ready to begin and participate.

Catch the Reading Bug! 

Readers entering first through sixth grade are invited to join. Participants visit the Children’s Room during regular library hours to record the books they have read at home and receive weekly prizes. At the end of the six week program, members who have read at least 6 books will receive a certificate and gift.

Smart Start for Babies, Toddlers and Preschoolers

Learning begins at birth, so it is important to focus on early literacy skills even for the youngest children. To this end, we are offering a reading program for children ages birth to 5 years old with age appropriate activities, gifts and programs. Participation is simple – just read, sing or do fingerplays with your child at home. Record the activities you have shared and we’ll have gifts for your child and an invitation to a special program at the end of the summer.
