Summer vacation...Week One

Week One in our Summer Reading Program is off to a great start. We have over 460 children signed up! That is more than last year. Congratulations! Our Wall of Fame is quickly filling up with stickers from those summer reading participants visiting the library. Each time a child who is signed up for the summer reading program visits the library they, too, can place a sticker on our Wall of Fame.

As for our special programs, we do have a few spaces left for the Northern Stars Planetarium. If you are interested in having your child attend, please call or stop in to put their name on the signup sheet. For our other programs, many are already filled, but call us to double check.

We do have lots and lots of exciting books to keep your child reading all summer long. We always love to help children find the perfect match, so never hesitate to ask us for suggestions.
On display are books from the Maine Student Book Award list. For students in Wentworth, we also have the review forms they need to fill out to qualify for the MSBA Book Group.

Studies show that children who read throughout the summer do better when they get to school in the fall. Come on in and sign up for our summer reading program where children can earn a free book just by reading throughout vacation. See you soon!
