New! Set your own Reading Goals for Kids
We're challenging all Summer Reading participants to set TWO reading goals for themselves this summer. Write your goals inside the Read, Renew, Repeat Summer Information Flyer you picked up at registration.
For prereaders, this may include reading a certain number of books together as a family, or visiting a certain number of new libraries.
For readers, this may include reading for a certain number of hours. It's your choice! Each time you meet one of your goals, stop by the Plainville Public Library to pick a prize from our Treasure Box. (Limit two prizes per child over the course of the summer.) Think BIG and challenge yourself! You can do it!
