With summer just around the corner, the library is looking forward to this year’s Summer Reading Program for Children, with the theme of Libraries Rock!

We will be offering a 7-week program on Thursday mornings starting July 5, 2018. The youngest children, 4 and 5 years old, will meet from 10-10:45 am in the kids’ room at the library. Older children, 6-12 years will follow at 10:45-11:30 am.

We’ll read stories that support the 2018 theme with books about libraries and the many ways they are delivered to children around the world. There will be books on fossils and rocks, and we’ll be listening to all kinds of music, from rock’n’roll to classical and everything in between. Local musicians will help engage the kids in music making. We’ve purchased a great collection of new books on these topics for checkout. As children set and meet their reading goal for the summer, they will earn both an Oregon Governor’s Award and a gift bag of books and toys supplied by the Ladies Club and the Friends of the Library.

The program is offered at no charge and is funded by an Oregon State Library grant.
