Join us at the Alden Public Library for a summer of Olympic proportions as we dive into our Summer Reading Program 2016 with On Your Mark, Get Set . . . READ! We have a jam-packed schedule this year. School-aged kids — kindergarten through 6th grade — can participate in our main program, with lots of opportunities for enrichment and prizes.
Children 0-5 can participate in our early literacy program. From June 1st through July 31st, kids and parents will work together to complete the activities on a worksheet they can pick up at the circulation desk. Upon completion, the worksheet may be returned to the library in return for a prize!
We also have a teen and adult program to provide you and your older children with the opportunity to have fun and earn prizes right along with the kids! Patrons 12 and older may pick up a Bingo Card at the circulation desk between June 1st and July 31st and work towards filling out the challenges on the card. You may complete one row, or the whole card, and return your card to the library for entry into the prize drawing.
Pre-registration begins May 19, 2016 and runs through June 21. 2016. School-aged children must be pre-registered to participate. Stop by the library for a registration form.
Our kids' age group activities begin June 22, 2016 and run through July 27, 2016. During this six-week period, we have many fun programs for your child to choose from! Monday is Family Movie Day, which will run from 1:30 to 3:30 pm, depending on the length of the movie. Children and their families are invited to come to the library to enjoy the movie while munching fresh popcorn and M&Ms! Wednesdays are our activity day from 2:00 to 3:30 pm. Children will listen to a few stories and participate in a craft or a game. Children can have fun while earning the opportunity to win fun prizes and a library field trip!
Points will work the same as they did last year. The children will be able to earn prizes as they go, instead of all at once at the end. Be sure to keep track of your point sheet, as the library is not responsible for its loss!
We hope you enjoy the programs and activities we have planned for you! If you have any questions, please contact Elaine Bahr at the Alden Public Library: 515-859-3820.
