May 26 launches the start of our Summer Library Program. Kids going into grades 2 - 12 can come in anytime the library is open, sign in, and earn time spent with books!!

REMEMBER, there will not be a certain number of book reading required. (They are certainly welcome to check books out.) They receive credit for time spent quietly, screen-free at the library!

I will read aloud every Tuesday at 1:30. I plan to read the Little House on the Prairie series. ALL ages are welcome to come and listen.

When a student has earned four hours, he / she will receive $5 in Gary bucks. This will happen at each four-hour interval earned.

At the end of the program, larger prizes will be awarded, depending on their total time built up.

I am READY!!!!!!!!! I am ready to see kids get into books this summer!

Parents, please get on board with me to keep learning alive through the weeks of summer, and help your child maintain their reading skills! Their teachers will notice.

There are rewards involved! For every four hours in the library, your child will get $5 in Gary bucks. They need to sign in, and spend time with books in any way: listening to me read at the designated time, flipping through nature books, hunting magazines, reading a book of choice, word search books, mazes, coloring, etc.

No screens!

And for larger increments of time spent here, the prizes will be much more substantial!
