June is National Oceans Month, so what a perfect time to begin our ocean-themed Summer Reading program! Oceans of Possibilities starts Wednesday, June 1, 2022. Sign up is easy! Either grab a paper log from one of the desks, or sign up on Beanstack. Then, all summer long, record the title and number of pages of each book you read. When you reach certain page totals, you'll receive a prize -- 250, 500, 1000 & 1500. At 2000 pages, you can choose a free book or enter your name into a raffle drawing. You will also earn an entry to a raffle drawing for every 500 pages after that, up to 5000 pages. At 500 pages, kids will also be entered into the drawing for a bike from Bike Link. Teens can always choose to enter the raffles instead of getting smaller prizes. Prize redemption will begin on Monday, June 6. The last day to redeem for prizes is Sunday, July 31.
You can read absolutely any books you want during Summer Reading! But the official theme might inspire you want to want some ocean titles. Good news! I have put together lots of book lists to help you find the perfect sea story! You can find all of them in the Downloads section on Katie Jane's Corner. There are picture books, beginning readers, first chapter books, novels, graphic novels, and nonfiction for all!
Of course, Summer Reading isn't just about reading! It's about having fun with your family! Make sure you look at our official calendar, and save the date for events you absolutely MUST attend. We hope you are as eager for the return of our Library Theatre shows as we are! Here's a sneak peek at the performers coming to our stage.
