LIBRARY SUMMER READING & SPECIAL EVENTS Summer Reading Challenges
Oceans of Possibilities is this year’s theme for summer reading challenges at the Library. Reading is a great summer activity, and it’s a proven method to help children avoid “summer slide” of their academic skills. Fortunately, people of all ages can have fun and win prizes for reading during the summer at the Library. Four different challenges with age-appropriate prizes are offered. All challenges run June 1 through July 31. Visit one of the Library service desks or our website beginning in May for details. Challenge categories are: • Babies through PreK • Kindergarten through Grade 5 • Grades 6-12 • Adults
