The Elizabeth Titus Memorial Library is preparing to kickoff summer reading with a part on June 3 from 10 am to 2 pm. This is free and open to the public. There will be an inflatable obstacle course and slide, sno cones, s’more making and a craft.
This year’s summer reading theme is Read Beyond the Beaten Path. Summer reading officially starts on Wednesday, June 1. Participants can start registering on Tuesday, May 24 and there will be open registration on June 3 at the party.
The library is looking for volunteers to help at the kickoff party. Volunteers will help monitor the inflatables, the craft table and the sno cones and s’mores. Volunteers can be in sixth grade and up and adults may help as well.
There are 10 weeks of summer reading. This is 10 weeks of earning prizes. Every week they meet their reading goal they can get a new prize. Reading logs will be kept at the library this year and the kids will get stickers to put on their log as they progress.
YA (young adults) will have activities on Thursdays at 2:00 in June. YA is for kids entering 6th-12th grades. They will be making things for the letterboxing activity, fairy lights, and more.
For kids entering kindergarten through 5th grades activities will be held August 1-5. It will be held in the mornings. Exact times will be announced closer to the dates.
They will have a letterboxing activity throughout the summer for the entire family. Letterboxing is similar to geocaching, but no coordinates are given. Instead you will follow clues and solve puzzles to find them. You do not leave a trinket behind. Instead there will be a stamp inside a small waterproof box that you use on a premade card you can get in the library. When you find them all you can come back for a prize. This will start in June also.
In July they will have a free family friendly movie every Friday at 1:00 pm. Popcorn and water is provided. Guests can bring other snacks if they wish along with blankets and pillows to sit with. Chairs will be provided for adults.
