Our Summer Reading Program theme this year is “Libraries Rock!”
Sign up for the Summer Reading Program at the library anytime from June 11 to July 2! Just come by and show us your valid library card (or sign up for a new one – free!) and we’ll set you up with a reading log and program brochure. Everyone ages 0-18 is welcome to participate.
This year’s reading challenge is the same as last year’s – for every 10 minutes read during the program, you can add one sticker to your reading record. It takes approximately 8 hours to complete a reading record, and any reading counts – newspapers, websites, books from the library, books from home, eBooks, hardcover books, paperback books, etc. When you’ve completed your reading log, turn it back in to the library to receive a Calhoun County Library swag pack and an entry into the drawing for a brand new Kindle Fire tablet! Each subsequent reading log completed will earn an extra entry into the drawing (but only one swag pack per participant).
The program will run through July 20 and will feature many free, fun programs for all ages, including geology with the Arkansas Geological Survey, movies, coloring, board games, sheet rock candy, DIY musical instruments, and more. A full schedule of programs with dates, times, and age recommendations can be found here.
Participants must hold valid Calhoun County library cards and adhere to all library policies. Children younger than 11 must have a guardian (16 or over) present at all times. All supplies will be provided for all programs. Each completed reading record counts as one entry into the drawing for the Kindle Fire, and a winner will be chosen at random on July 23, 2017 at approximately 12:00 pm (to be notified by telephone).
