SUMMER READING 2022: OCEANS OF POSSIBILITIES
Read, craft, play, and earn prizes at the library’s summer reading program this summer, from June 1 – August 10. The program is FREE, open to the public, and separated into age groups for regular weekly events to ensure that kids enjoy age-appropriate stories & activities.
READING PROGRAM
This year, we’re doing something new! Kids & teens won’t have to meet a goal each week in order to earn a prize and be limited to one small prize each week. Instead, they will enter their minutes, pages, books, or chapters read & earn a prize each time they meet a set goal. There will be a limit to how many reading prizes they can earn. Kids 5th grade & under can also choose to read for goals OR to compete head-to-head for better prizes. 6th-12th graders will earn Library Loot for reading, volunteering, and winning select games. Library Loot can be spent right away or saved up for higher-quality prizes such as board games, movie tickets, and craft kits.
REGULAR MEETINGS

During non-performance weeks, choose between in-person story & teen meetings or online ones.
