Summer Reading Club 2012

It's that time of the year again!  The countdown to Summer Reading Club is at less than a month.

Wednesday, June 20th at 3pm - Opening Ceremonies

• Join us for registration, banner signing, face painting, and lots of fun!  It's time to pick up your reading record to keep track of the books you read this summer.

Tuesday, July 3rd at 3pm - Summer Reading Club programming starts

Tuesdays & Thursdays -- Craft Days

• Stories and a craft

Wednesdays & Fridays -- Activity Days

• Stories with an activity

**Please note that even though the Library will be open Mondays starting July 9th,
Summer Reading Club programs will only run Tuesday to Saturday each week.**

Friday, August 17th at 3pm - Closing Ceremonies

•  We'll start the summer with a bang, and we'll end it the same way!  We'll be awarding prizes to all children who complete and hand in their reading records

The Summer Reading Club is the *best* way to keep kids busy and their minds active in Tumbler Ridge during the summer.  The program is free, and funded by our generous sponsors.


We're still looking for Summer Students to help run the Summer Reading Club.  If you're interested, please take a look at the job posting page on the Library's website.  Our Summer Students will be planning and leading story, craft, and activity sessions and performing other general work around the Library.

End of the Summer

We're getting closer and closer to the end of the summer folks.  A few days ago (on the 11th, to be exact) our receipt printer started giving us date due slips with the phrase "September 1" on them.

So what happens around here at the end of the summer?

Summer Reading Club Closing Ceremonies

Friday, August 20th, at 3pm

We'll be handing out medals and prizes and serving cake to celebrate the end of another successful summer!

Please note:  Children must return their reading records by Wednesday, August 18th to receive a prize!

Here's a photo of the prizes available:

We've got board games, science kits, Lego, Mega Bloks, Nerf blasters, a giant water gun, fishing poles, crafts, and more!

So, turn in your reading record and come to the Closing Ceremonies to have some cake and choose a prize!
