Summer Reading Program for Kids
Whether you are a seasoned reader or like to be read to, we have a summer reading program for you. One World Many Stories is our theme this summer. The Kids' program lasts six week and is intended for age 3 to grade 4. Each week that you read, hand in a list of your books and get a prize (starting June 20). If you read four out of six weeks, you get a grand prize. Yay! (By the way, the books you read this summer can be counted for the library as well as the Spaulding & McAlister summer reading programs.
