Well, we're off to a great start, with more than 400 kids already registered for the Summer Reading Program! As usual, the Treasure Chest of prizes is VERY popular with our young readers who are busy tracking the time they spend reading. And teens are submitting book reviews for their chance to win prizes, too, in a special teen-only weekly raffle.
Last night's Pajama StoryTime was a success, with several families attending in PJs to enjoy stories followed by a snack of milk & cookies!
"Read-to-the-Beat", the book group for ages 6-9 started yesterday, at Memorial School, with lots of happy readers leaving with a book to read and a very noisy kazoo they each created from a cardboard tube, wax paper, and lots of imagination!
(THANK YOU to all the parents who helped with that activity, especially Erin Alcott! I could NOT have pulled that off without her!)
We'll make a different musical instrument each week!
There's still time to register for "The Beat Goes On" the book group for 9-12 year olds. This group will actually be more of a theater workshop/drama class than just a book group! Participants are asked to read the 2000 Newbery Medal Winner, Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis and come to the first session on July 11 prepared to discuss the book and work on creating a skit based on the characters and story. This group will be directed and facilitated by Upton resident Jennifer Jo Davis. Please call the library for more info!
