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.​ ​
  • The Budding Builders get weekly entries for prizes too. 

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

Every time you come to the library bring your Summer Blueprint or Activity Sheet and for every block you fill in or for every literacy activity you complete you can add a LEGO to our sculpture. Let's see how BIG we can BUILD it this summer with everyone's reading!
WEEKLY ENTRIES TO WIN PRIZES

Everyone can submit thier weekly entry when they come to the library. Winners will be drawn at the end of the summer for great prizes.  The more weeks you come to the library the more entries you will have to try to win!
