Summer Library Activities

"Dig Into Reading" is the theme for the 2013 Summer Reading Program at the S. W. Smith Library and Bookmobile which began June 1 and ends  August 7.  There is something for all ages - infants, toddlers, preschoolers, students in K-12 and adults.  Kick off days were Saturday, June 1 at the library and Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, June 5, 6 or 7 at the Bookmobile.  The Infant/Toddler Reading Club has parents keeping a reading log of the book they read to their children and the kids will get to pick a prize from the prize jar.  The Preschool Story Hour at the library will be held Wednesdays from 10 - 11 a.m. from July 10 through August 7.

Students will keep a reading log and will receive a sticker for each book recorded and a chance to win a grand prize.  After reading just 4 books, readers will get a free club t-shirt.  Club meetings will be held on Wednesdays, July 10 through August 7 from 10 - 11 a.m.  For those who read 10 or more books, an invitation to a pizza party will be given.  Adults will also receive a chance to win a grand prize for each book they record in their log and after reading 10 will be invited to the pizza party.  That party will be held August 15 at 5:30 p.m.
