Kids–it’s time to make a splash @ your library! If you want to make the biggest splash of all this summer come to Lauri Ann West Memorial Library to register for the summer reading program. Registration starts on Saturday, June 5th. Then all you have to do is have fun reading! Read 10 books and you will get a cool t-shirt. And for every ten books read after that you will receive raffle tickets for cool prizes like cameras, gift cards, and more! Read-to-Me readers have to have 20 books read to them. You will also be invited to our Splash Down party on Saturday, August 28th.

And 5th graders you can sign up for the teen summer reading program, “Make Waves”. You also have to read 10 books to get a shirt and a raffle ticket for a Flip video camera. The more books you read the more raffle tickets you will receive. We have a lot of prizes to give away this summer so don’t miss out! The teen party will be on Thursday, August 19th.

Parents … study after study has concluded that voluntary reading (like summer reading) has a huge impact on children’s reading abilities. It helps to improve vocabulary, writing, and comprehension skills. Summer reading programs are useful tools to prevent the loss of those skills during the summer. There are a lot of resources at the library for even the most reluctant reader. And be sure your child sees you reading! Better yet, read together!
