Reading Programs

Seasonal reading programs for children preschool through 5th grade are offered twice during the calendar year. A Winter Reading Program is provided for 4 - 6 weeks in January and February. The Summer Reading Program is offered for 8 - 10 weeks beginning the end of May and continuing through the end of July. A Read-To-Me Program is provided for children not yet reading on their own and a Readers program is also provided for independent readers. Participants must meet the required reading goals set by the Library to receive a reading certificate and awards. Each reading program is based on a theme which is carried throughout the materials, awards and displays.

Research shows that children are never to young to be read a story. With that in mind, toddlers and preschoolers (aged 12 months to 5 years) are invited to take part in a special reading program just for them! The toddler/preschool reading program is held during the month of October and is similar to the programs offered for older children. We have designed the handouts and awards so they are suitable for young listeners.
