The Summer Reading Program is almost here!!!

Summer Reading Programs for all ages will be June 3 through July 26. Children sixth grade and under can take books home and read (or listen) at their own pace. They will receive points for their books when they return them. Prizes will be awarded after a certain amount of points are reached. Children can also register for the weekly prize each time they return books for points. There will be Mommy and Me classes for children under 3 years of age on Thursdays at 10:00 AM and Story hour for children 3 years old through sixth grade on Thursdays at 10:00 AM. There will also be weekly events during the program. Teens receive points and prizes and can register for weekly prizes each time they return books for points. We will offer four Teen Snack Attacks during the Summer Reading Program. They will be held on June 6, June 20, July 11, and July 25 from 6:00-7:30 PM. Children and teens can begin registering for the Summer Reading Program on Tuesday, May 28. Points will not be counted until June 3. Adults do not register for their program. They simply put their name in the basket for the weekly drawings for each book they return. Adults are welcome to come at 12:00 PM on Wednesdays for Lunch-n-Learn. Bring a sack lunch and listen as different guest speakers talk about things pertaining to this year’s theme.
