What is the Summer Reading Program
for Children?

This summer, all across the United States, libraries will be providing reading programs for children in order to help them maintain and hopefully improve their reading and listening skills over the summer.  This coming year the theme is Catch the Reading Bug.  Here at the David A. Howe Library, you and your child come to the library only once each week (for 6 weeks) at any time or day we are open (10am-5pm). When the child comes in, he spins the game wheel to see how many books to check out, picks out the books, and then spins the game wheel for prizes. If he comes at least 4 out of the 6 weeks, he can put his name in for the "big" prizes that will be on display. There will also be various activities at scheduled times (story times, crafts, etc.) which will be listed in your information packet when you sign up.  This is a very popular program and spaces go quickly, so sign up early!

Sign-ups (in person) begin Monday, June 9 and end Friday, June 27, 2008.

There will be 100 openings for pre-school children, and 100 openings for school aged kids. The program begins on Monday, June 30, 2008 and ends on Friday, August 8, 2008 (6 weeks).
