Our Summer Reading Program is now underway. The theme this year is Oceans of Possibilities. All kids who register this week will be entered for water themed prizes to be given away on Friday June 3rd. For every 2 hours read, kids can enter their name for a prize. There will be a prize for Preschool/K students, and 4 prizes for grades 1 through 8. High School students and adults will be able to enter a drawing for gift certificates to Rads, Bikini Coffee, and The Creamery. We have lots of fun activities planned this summer. Beat the Heat Movies will be at 1:30 on Mondays. Hangout for 7th and 8th grade students will be on Mondays from 3:30-4:30 p.m. Tuesdays at 10:30 will be Story Time for ages 6 and under. Tuesdays at 1:30 will be our regular Summer Reading program for school aged kids with stories and activities. Hangout for 5th and 6th grade students will be held Tuesdays from 3:30 –4:30 p.m. Wednesdays we will have a Story Walk by the pool with take home crafts. Every other Wednesday we will have Teen Scene from 5:00-7:00 p.m. Thursdays we will have LEGO/STEAM Club from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Accelerated Reading tests will be available at the library. Points earned during the summer are added to the student’s record in the fall.

Research shows that summer can take a real toll on a student’s knowledge and skills-from mathematics to reading development. Summer learning loss contributes substantially to the achievement gap between low-income and high-income students in America. Thankfully, Summer Reading Programs can help keep kids’ minds engaged long after the last school bell rings. Encourage your child to take part in the Summer Reading Program to prevent the Summer Slide. Programs will run through the end of July. Kids will have until August 12th to turn in time logs.

Go Fish will be the movie Monday June 6th at 1:30. It is rated PG and runs one hour and 15 minutes.
