Budding Builders

Picture
This program is for ages 4 and under.
Reading and literacy is for everyone in the family, even pre-readers!  Reading to babies, infants, and toddlers positively affects child development, readying them for a lifetime love of learning.

How it works:
  • Bring your child/children to the Library to register and receive an Early Literacy activity sheet.  These are simple things you can do throughout the summer such as: 
  • Share a bedtime story
  • Sing a song
  • Build with blocks
  • Make a simple recipe together and more!
  • When at least 20 (out of 28) of the activities are done, return to the Library to pick out a prize to enjoy with your little one.​ ​

Aspiring Architects

This Program is for ages 5 and up. 
**New this year** is our Read and Bead program. 
​
How it works:
  • Everyone gets a chain and brag tag and a Summer Blueprint. 
  • Track your reading time on your Summer Blueprint.
  • Every time you come to the library show us your reading and you earn beads for your chain. The more you read the more you earn.
  •  Do the math and get special beads as the summer goes on!​
Read and Bead Legend
15 mintues = opaque bead
30 minutes = metallic bead
1 hour = star bead
2 hours = glow in the dark bead
4 hours = shaped bead

Everytime you come to the library bring your Summer Blueprint and for every block you fill in you can add a LEGO to our sculpture. Let's see how BIG we can BUILD it this summer with everyone's reading!
