The children’s summer reading program at the Fond du Lac Public Library this year – Dream Big: Read – will encourage kids to imagine their wildest adventures through the magic of reading. Kids ages birth to 12 can sign up starting June 4 at the Main Library or FDLPL Express, near Festival Foods.
If you don’t dream big dreams when you’re a teen, then when? Reading stokes the imagination, propelling into new worlds, new ideas and new possibilities. The Fond du Lac Public Library’s summer reading program for teens (kids going into seventh through 12th grades) will encourage young readers to follow and discover new dreams through reading.
The days are longer. The nights are sweeter. What’s better than losing oneself in a great book to slow the summer down? The Fond du Lac Public Library is offering an easy, no hassle summer reading program that lets adults in on the fun.
Every year the library encourages the whole community to participate in summer reading programs. Along with helping children hold onto critical reading skills through their break from school, the programs reinforce the importance of lifelong learning for all ages. The programs – for young kids, teens and adults – all encouraged reading with events and rewards.
Kids ages birth to 12 who are enrolled in the Fond du Lac Public Library’s summer reading program need to turn in their completed reading records by August 20.
Children are keeping track of every day they read – or are read to – for 20 minutes or more, each time placing a sticker on the summer reading record they received when they signed up. A filled-in record – 41 days of reading – will earn every child a bag of goodies and a free book.
Kids should bring their completed records to the Children’s Desk at the library to receive their rewards.
The Fond du Lac Public Library has free events all summer in conjunction with its “Travel the World, Page by Page” themed summer reading programs. Programs coming up are:
Stocking up on summer reading is easy and affordable at the BookCellar. Grocery-bags-full of romance paperback books or kids' books are just $2. You’ll also find a huge selection of VHS tapes for just 50 cents each and a healthy selection of newer best-sellers for just $2 each.
The BookCellar is located in the library’s lower level and is open every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and every Monday from noon to 7 p.m.
Saturday's Summer Reading Kickoff Carnival was a smashing success, thanks to Sunshine the Clown, Betty Trent face painting, games, magic and popcorn! We couldn't have pulled it off without help from a great group of volunteers, who did everything from check out customers at the BookCellar Bag Sale to help sign people up for the summer reading programs.
