Hey Kids!

Do you like to read books on your own?

Join our Summer Reading Club  BE CREATIVE” 2009

Sign-up begins June 7th  

Read as many books as you like this summer. We will give you a “Reading Record” to keep track of your books. These can be library books, books from home, or any book you choose.

During any of the 8 weeks in our program, come to our specially decorated area during regular library hours and tell us about your reading. You may tell us about one or two books per week. Your report may be as short or long as you want. Each week that you participate you will receive a small token “Book Bonus”. 

After  5 reports you will receive a “Certificate of Accomplishment”. After earning your certificate you may continue to participate for all 8 weeks. All readers and their families are invited to celebrate at the end of the program with an

Open House Party on August 8th. 

Reports may be given starting June 14th
