Summer Reading Is Fun Library to launch annual Summer Reading Challenge
Summer is almost here. School will be out soon and it’s time for baseball, cookouts, swimming - and summer reading.
The Clermont County Public Library wants to encourage kids and adults to pick up a good book, download music and movies, listen to a book on CD or load an eReader with lots of books and eAudiobooks for vacation.
Join the Summer Reading Challenge at the library starting June 7 and ending Aug. 2. Complete the activities and win prizes. Each activity is an entry into a grand prize drawing.
“Although the summer reading program was created to help children maintain their reading skills throughout the summer, there is also a great teen program and this is the first year we are offering the program to adults,” said Christine Wick, library director.
The challenges are simple for kids: Read or be read to for 15 minutes, attend a library program, listen to music for 15 minutes, complete a coloring or activity sheet, explore the Tumblebook library and tell a friend about the Summer Reading Challenge.
The challenges for adults can include attending a program about grilling basics or how to brew your own beer at the Union Township Branch. Teens can learn ballet or hip hop dance moves at the Amelia Branch. At New Richmond, the Ohio Chautauqua Workshop re-enactors will share life journeys of people like a Titanic survivor and an Indian captive.
Prizes include Chipotle coupons, science experiment kits, iPad minis and more.
Register and keep track of your completed challenges online at Clermontlibrary.org.
For more information, call one of the 10 branch libraries across Clermont County.
