Be Creative @ Your Library!
Summer Reading 2009
Be sure to stop by the library soon to check out all the cool summer reading activities that will happen this summer! Our theme this year is Art! For the first time we will have summer reading programs and activities for tweens, teens and adults in addition to our normal programs for pre-k through 3rd grade.
Currently scheduled:
Kids:
Tuesday evenings at 5 pm or 6 pm, at the library: Pottery, art, crafts, dance, music and more!
Tweens: Thursdays at 1pm, duct tape accessories, learn to make jewelry, altered books and more!
Teens: Thursdays at 3pm, join us for some slightly more cutting-edge arts activities.
Adult programs that are making their way onto the schedule include some local performers of traditional music, a quilting program, demonstrations of traditional arts and crafts, and more. Look for announcements as we get dates for these programs.
Ok, here’s how the “reading” part works:
For every day that you read at least 20 minutes, you will mark it off on the calendar. Once you have 5 days marked off, you will get your first entry ticket. Tickets get your name and phone number on them, and go in the drawing for the prize you are most interested in. There will be several movie baskets with popcorn and pretzels, a few gift cards for JosephBeth Booksellers, and more!
When you receive your ticket you will also receive a shape to decorate and place in our community masterpiece. Materials will be available for decorating these shapes and affixing them to this piece of community art.
Reading goals for preschool crowd are a bit more flexible, since their books are generally very short you may count one book as one day of reading. Total goals for the program are 25 days of reading over the summer, and the program runs from June 2 through July 25.
