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.
 


Registration begins Monday, May 19, 2008

Pick up a game sheet at either library when you register.  You may begin reading right away!
