Have a great time at the library this summer by joining the Summer Reading program “Tails and Tales.” All ages are invited to participate by tracking the number of books read between June 1 and August 6 to earn prizes. Summer Reading will kick off the week of June 1-June 4. Children may come to the library with a parent/guardian to register and to choose a stuffed animal to adopt that comes with a free book. You may also register anytime during the summer on the READsquared app. Story Time in the Park will be held for younger children in the Harlem City Park every Tuesday at 10 A.M. (weather permitting) beginning June 1. Bring a blanket and at least one parent/caregiver. Elementary students are invited to meet outside the library every other Wednesday at 1 P.M. beginning June 2 for a story and special STEAM activity. Teens and adults may enter a drawing for a grand prize gift card for every book read. Call the library for more information or visit out website at http://www.harlempubliclibrary.org.
