“Imagine Your Story.”
SUMMER READING VIRTUAL FINAL PARTY
Facebook Live at 4:00 PM on Monday, August 10, 2020. Tune in at https://www.facebook.com/smcpl/.
Every summer the library offers a summer reading program for all ages from pre-school to senior citizens to encourage reading or listening to books, explore new authors and genres, and find out about the many different types of materials the library offers. The summer reading program is also a great way to encourage kids to keep reading when they aren’t going to school. We offer incentives, fun activities and virtual programs to keep them engaged in reading. This year’s program will begin on Monday, June 15 and although it looks a little different than in years past, participants will still have the opportunity to log their reading minutes, earn prizes, and enjoy reading books and eBooks throughout the summer.
EARN A PRIZE ENTRY BY: Completing each weekly Reading Log Gameboard
PRIZES – to be announced on Facebook Live.
READING LOGS
This year’s program will include digital reading logs for children, teens, and adults.
So whether you are 1 or 120, we’ll have activities & contests to keep you energized & excited about reading!
Reading includes books, eBooks, audiobooks, magazines, and graphic novels.
For preschoolers, it includes being read to for the equivalent amount of time.
For each day that you read or listen to a book for at least 20 minutes, write down the date, then at the end of the week enter your information into the reading log of this form.
