Summer Library News
The Free Table and Kidz summer reading challenge are back!
The tables outside the Fellowship Hall are filled with books, including non-fiction, biography, children's books, and media. About mid-June, the tables will be cleared off to allow more to be displayed.
This year the Kidz reading challenge is geared for ages up to 14. Read any six books in categories BOARD (pre-kindergarten), E (easy reading), or JR (junior). Labels with F indicate fiction. Labels with B indicate Biography. Books and sign-up sheets are temporarily moved from the first floor library to Room 203 upstairs.
For those individuals and families who signed up last year, just pick up a reading record sheet. If this is the first year, or contact information has changed, fill out a sign-up sheet and return it to the designated envelope.
You can choose any books at your reading or interest level. Parents of family members can help pick out books and read to those who cannot yet read for themselves. Sign out your books using the card in the back of the book. As books are completed, fill out a reading report sheet and return it by August 30th. Small rewards will follow.
Learn and enjoy!
