summer reading

Youth Summer Reading: Register to read for 500 minutes (8 hours, 20 minutes) between June 3 & July 26. Any age up through fifth grade can participate in the children’s division. Participants can read aloud to someone else, have someone read to them (audiobooks count!), or read by themselves. Winners get prizes and their names entered in the Grand Prize Drawing on July 26. Toddlers can sign up with their guardians to do an activity sheet instead. Children can also attend free weekly parties for fun and prizes.

Swanton Library's youth department will begin a new Monday afternoon class this summer! Music and movement are tied together with literacy in this new family series. Sing, dance, play instruments, and read! The focus is on preschool and early grades, but the entire family is welcome. Free! 

Kids: Sign up to read for 500 minutes during June and July (toddlers can sign up to do an activity sheet instead) and get a free book, free pizza, and more! Any age up through fifth grade can participate. Kids can also join us every week starting Monday, June 6, with the all-ages ice cream party! Preschoolers will attend at 10:30 am on Tuesdays; grades 3-5 on Wednesdays; and grades K-2 on Thursdays. Look for visits from the zoo (with real animals!), games, and more!

This summer, teens can play BINGO to win! All who have just finished grades 6-12 are welcome to participate in the challenge. To win, you just need to make one BINGO (do five activities from the BINGO card in a row, a column, or a diagonal). Winners receive a $5.00 certificate to Tano’s and an invitation to the end-of-summer Pizza Party! The BINGO challenge begins on June 6 and runs through July 29.

SIGNUP BEGINS JUNE 6, 2016!

The Goal: Sign up to read for 500 minutes during June and July. Any age up through fifth grade can participate. Winners receive prizes and will be entered in the Grand Prize Drawing.

The Kick-off: Come kick off the summer at the “Get Ready, Get Set, Sundaes!” party on Monday, June 6 at 10:30 am. We’ll have a make-your-own-ice-cream-sundae bar, stories, games, and more!
