Register and pick up the first weekly reading log by June 30.
Read (or be read to if too young to read) for 140 minutes weekly.
Return the reading log to the library to be entered in the weekly $5 drawing.
Pick up the next weekly reading log and repeat the process!

In addition, the library will be offering:

• 10:30 Weekly Wednesday Events throughout the month of July:
  • July 7, 14, 21, 28
    • STEAM activities, crafts, games, and more! 

Avoid the “Summer Slide”

Summer slide is a term coined by the educational field to describe the loss of skills and knowledge over summer break. Reading and math skills are often negatively impacted. Fortunately, the reading “summer slide” is easy to curb — just read at least 20 minutes daily throughout the summer!  Participating in a summer reading program, offered by your local library, is one way to stay motivated to read throughout the summer months!
