Summer Reading Club 2013

This year’s themes-Dig Into Reading and Beneath the Surface-will explore the world beneath our feet and encourage children and teens to look a little deeper at the world around them-through books, crafts, games, and many more special summer activities! Each age group will have a weekly meeting. Come to one, two, or twelve meetings, its’ up to you! Weekly attendance is not required and you can always bring a friend! Track your reading to receive fun and exciting prizes!

Stop in the library to sign up!

More details about tracking reading and prizes will be announced on this date. Summer Reading will last from June 1 and end in mid-August at our annual Summer Reading Bowling party (date/time TBA). Each month we will be featuring a special event or performer, as well as weekly Tuesday night programs for a variety of ages, so stay tuned for more exciting Summer Reading Club Announcements!
