‘Be Creative @ Your Library’ this summer in the Children’s Room and explore the arts, music, dance, writing, books and puppetry. Summer Reading Club begins June 8th and lasts until August 7th. Artwork for this year’s theme was created by a master of illustration mayhem and frivolity, David Catrow. His familiar works of art can be seen in books such as Stand Tall Molly Lou Milon and Take Me Out of the Bathtub and Other Silly Dilly Songs.
Open to children from toddlers to those leaving sixth grade, the reading club provides incentives, activities and concerts to make this an inspiring nine weeks for the whole family.
This year’s reading club will also bring out the budding artist in children. All activities will have a “Be Creative” theme and will be divided into a session for younger children and one for older elementary-aged children. The annual pet show which is co-sponsored by Dad’s Products is scheduled for July 11th.
To participate, a child must be a member of one of Crawford County’s libraries. Preschoolers and summer visitors will receive a card good for the summer. Special notebooks will be issued to record each reader’s (and listener’s) progress. Prizes will be awarded for completing various requirements.
For every library book read, children will get a stamp in their notebook. Preschoolers must listen to two books to get a stamp. For every four stamps, a prize may be selected from a display case in the Children’s Room. When 12 stamps have been collected, participants qualify for two chances to win a Grand Prize. Drawings for these prizes will be held during our Summer Reading Club Party August 7 at 10 a.m.
