It is once again time for Summer Reading at Meinders Library! This year’s theme is Be Creative At Your Library, which has a lot of potential. We have so many exciting activities, ranging from paper masks and murals, to home-made sidewalk chalk and musical instruments. Our guest presenter this year is Ramona Larson and I’ve never participated in her activities, but she says we have to wear tennis shoes and comfortable clothes, so I bet it will be fun! Meetings for Summer Reading Program will be Thursdays at 2:00 PM, starting June 11. Come in and sign up!
Regular Summer Reading Program is for kids from 5 to 12, but this year we will also be having a Teen Summer Reading Program for older kids, from 12 to 18. The activities for the teen group include redesigning book covers, making movie posters, and watching a few books-become-movies, like Twilight and Inkheart. It promises to be very exciting and what teenager doesn’t need something to do during the summer? Meetings for the Teen group will be Fridays at 2:00 PM, staring June 12th. Come in and get signed up!
Both Summer Programs end at the end of July, with July 30th being the last day for the younger kids and July 31st for the teens.
We are looking for volunteers to help with both reading programs, for those adults out there who need things to do during the summer. We’d like to get a few adults to come in and help with each activity, since we frequently have 50+ kids attending. You don’t need to attend every week and if you only have time for once, we would be glad to have you. If you are interested, give the library a call at 825-6714 or stop on by and fill out a volunteer sheet. We would really appreciate it!
Summer Reading Program is always a very exciting time in the library. Seeing happy faces on happy kids makes all the planning worthwhile and we are so looking forward to the program!
If you have any questions about Summer Reading Program, or you have a book you need to reserve or renew, give us a call at 507-825-6714. Summer hours for Meinders Library are Monday through Thursday, from 10 AM to 8 PM, and Friday from 10 AM to 5 PM. We are no longer open on Saturdays from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
