It is that time of year again…SUMMER! Summer is a time for barbeques, beaches, and books at the Ridgway Public Library’s Summer Reading Program. “Be Creative at Your Library,” the theme for this year’s program, will last for 8 weeks with activity nights starting June 15^th. Each night will begin at 6 PM. All children and adults are welcome to join in on the stories, crafts, games, treats, and the chance to win cool prizes. The dates are as follows:

 

June 15^th I’ve Got Rhythm             

July 6^th Now You See It

July 20^th Dance and Move

August 3^rd Free Play

Throughout the summer, everyone has the chance to visit our make-and-take table set up in the library everyday. This is your place for everything creative- worksheets, crafts, and fun facts.

Also, a contest will be held to find the most creative sculptors. These sculptures will be crafted out of materials provided for you by us. The materials will be handed out on June 15^th and the finished art pieces will need to be back by July 6^th. After being judged by patrons of the library, prizes will be awarded. More information will be handed out with materials.

 

Also this summer, the “Become a Star” reading club will begin. This gives you the opportunity to show off what you have read and then get rewards. Stop by the library to join after June 8^th and start a reading log today!

 

Hey teens! Are you looking for something to do this summer? Well, the Ridgway Public Library has you covered. Along with the Summer Reading Program, we will be holding a Teen Book Discussion Group. This is a great way to spend time reading and getting to know others who like to do the same. Come to the library today to sign up and get more information.

 

Have any questions? Feel free to call or come on down to the Ridgway Public Library. Hope to see all of you this summer. Lights, Camera, Action!
