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 25) of the activities are done, return to the Library to pick out a prize from the toy box to enjoy with your little one.​ ​
  • get weekly entries for prizes too. 

***   Voyagers   ***

This Program is for ages 5 and up. 
The Read and Bead Program is BACK!
​
How it works:
  • Everyone gets a chain and brag tag and a Reading log Sheet 
  • Track your reading time on your Sheet.1 square = 15 minutes
  • 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 trade up to get special beads as the summer goes on!​
