Welcome!  Join us for this fun and free series of activities and events designed to prevent the "summer slide" and encourage kids and teens to read during the summer.  Our theme this year is "Oceans of Possibilities".  In addition to our weekly events, we will have a community reading tracking mosiac, guessing jars, weekly door prizes, an aquarium cam, and more!

Preschool to grade 6:  Set a goal for how many books you think you can read (or have read to you) during the program, and keep track with stickers on your reading log that you got at school or at the library.  Show us you've met your goal (or gave it a good shot) to get a free book and other goodies plus three tickets for our raffle for great prize packages like Jay Peak Indoor Water Park passes, a Pizza Party kit, and more!  You can get more raffle tickets when you come to programs and borrow books too!  Make sure to return your record before or at our Summer Reading Celebration on Friday, August 12th to be entered to win the grand prizes.  You do not have to be present to win and can still get your free book and goodies any time if you can't make it to the party.

Grades 7 and up can earn raffle tickets by completing a teen challenge sheet (available at the library and on our website) or by volunteering to help out with our summer events!

You do not have to register for individual events, but make sure you visit our website at www.bentnorthrop.org or follow us on Facebook for updates and more program information!
