Summer Reading is here!
DCPL's Summer Reading program kicks off officially on May 5th. But you can sign up right now at Mt. Pleasant Library! Our themes this summer are: Be Creative @ your Library (birth to 13) and Express Yourself @ your Library (13 and up).
Summer Reading is very simple:
1. Sign up with your name, age, grade and school, and take home a reading log.
2. Read 3 books, write the titles on your log, bring it to us, and you'll get a
level 1 prize.
3. Read another 3 books (total of 6), and you get a level 2 prize!
You can continue doing this until September (we have a variety of prizes) and the people who've read the most books at this location get a prize package at the end of the summer!
The kick-off activity for Be Creative @ your Library is a visit by Storyteller Marc Spiegel on May 5th at 1:30. This program is recommended for ages 6 and up. Please call us at 671-0196 if you want to bring a group to this or any of our programs. We cannot admit groups of more than 6 without pre-registration--we just don't have room!
Please stop by the library to see a schedule of upcoming special events for summer reading!
