Are you a Promising Performer or a Vibrant Virtuoso?
Register for your Summer Reading Program at the library starting June 11
Awarding of Prizes and Beads begins June 25 through August 22.

When you register for Summer Reading you can take our Quintet Challenge! Build something cool with the 5 pieces in the bag (add whatever you want from home) and bring it to the library by 8pm on Monday, July 16 to be entered to win a grab bag of great stuff from our prize closet. 

Promising Performers

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 25 (out of 28) of the activities are done, return to the Library to pick out a prize to enjoy with your little one.​ ​
  • The Promising Performers​ get weekly entries for prizes too. 

Vibrant Virtuosos

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 Summer Tracker Sheet (instead of a music sheet)
  • Track your reading time on your Summer Reading Sheet.
  • 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!​
Read and Bead Legend
15 mintues = opaque bead
30 minutes = pearl bead
1 hour = star bead
2 hours = glow in the dark bead
4 hours = shaped bead

Every time you come to the library bring your Summer Reading Sheet or Activity Sheet and for every block you fill in or for every literacy activity you complete you can add a note sticker to our sculpture. Let's see how full we can make our music clef this summer with everyone's reading!
