Every summer, we participate in a summer reading club. “It’a like a national theme that we follow. This year the theme is all together now.
Our library is focusing on stories and small crafts that talk about how to work with each other in the community and as individuals. We’re reading a story on how to connect with the rest of the people in the community, a story on creating a quilt together and they’re creating an original game together. We’re focusing on interacting with one another no matter how different you may be we’re all the same, work with everybody else.
WE have our summer our children’s coordinator twice a week they meet with the kids that are participating bagean in June runs through the end of July. Each time we read a story that ties in with the theme. They create a craft each time.
It’s a nice them this time. Trying to get local people who wrote books on the theme guest authors. Perhaps American Library Association. Mostly geared to K-6th grade .
Uniontown
We always recommend coming in for our summer program, because the kids have a great lineup with special events. Here at Uniontown, we’ve been doing it for many years. It’s an incentive program. Once they reach their goal of what they’re going to read they get a coupon worth $10 for the scholastic book fair that we have come in for 6 days. So they get to shop at the book fair and spend their $10. That’s their prize for reading all summer. The older kids it’s 10 books, the read to need, 20 read to them over the course of eight weeks. We always encourage folks to join for that because we think it’s a great thing that they get to go shopping for books at the end. Scholastic book fair is last week of July and the first week of August.
Adults easy and fun. You stop in when you get your books and pick up a raffle ticket. For every title you read, you get to put the title in a jar on that raffle ticket at the end of every month we pull a winner cooking basket cookbooks, Vera Bradley cooking apron.
We do an incentive reading for adults and make it real easy. We don’t care if you read our books, if you listen to books. Anything you’ve read, just grab a raffle ticket and use it. Goes through second or third week of August
Make and take craft day the second Tuesday of every month from 1-4. People come and take them home and meet other people who work on crafts.
