“Imagine the Possibilities”

Mark your calendars for the annual summer reading program June 15-August 3!

The theme for children is “Be Creative @ Your Library”. We are planning some terrific

events incorporating art, dance, music and other creative themes. The programs are

pre-paid with your tax dollars, so take advantage of these wonderful activities. In

addition to the entertaining events, we also offer a reading log to motivate young

readers during their summer vacation. Participants who complete the reading log

receive prizes and may attend the final summer reading program party on August 8.

Babies through fifth graders are invited to join this fabulous, fun, fantastic program!

“Express Yourself” is the theme for Teens this summer. The librarians and

Teen Advisory Board are busy planning events that reflect the creative theme. Art,

dance, music, cooking and film events will offer something for everyone going into

grades 6-12. The Teen reading log includes several aspects of the library in addition to

reading. Prizes and a fun final party on August 7 are rewards for completing the log.

Each completed participant will be entered into a random drawing for a laptop

computer sponsored by Telcom Credit Union.

Join the Adult Summer Reading Program for another fun

summer of Book Bingo! The purpose is to have fun, try something

different, and join the kids in summer reading. You don’t have to be

an avid reader to enjoy this program! Book Bingo is for everyone who

enjoys the library or wants to learn more about library services.

Everyone will receive a prize for participating.

Registration for all programs will be available on our

website, www.ssldl.info, beginning June 15 or you may stop by the

library to sign up. Reading logs will also be available at that time

online and at the library. We had over 1500 participants last year,

and are looking forward to another summer full of fun events,

prizes, and happy library users!

Thank you Telcom Credit

Union for co-sponsoring the

summer reading program!
