Fall Storytime

	Washington County Library 2008 Summer Reading Program Presents “Starship Adventure @ Your Library” The goal of our program is to provide reading opportunities as well as programs designed to promote a love for reading. Reading/Listening logs will be provided to each registered child. Children are encouraged to set a personal reading goal and bring in a list of all books read to be added to their log. Game sheets are used to encourage the reading of different subject areas. Our program is non-competitive and certificates will be awarded to each child for meeting their reading goal. Reading logs and game sheets must be completed by July 16 & 17. Certificates may be picked up at the library on the last program day, July 23 & 24.
