Summer Reading Program--It's (almost) here!

GET A CLUE @ YOUR LIBRARY!

We're putting the finishing touches on Get a Clue @ Your Library! (kids) and YNK @ Your Library! (teens), the themes for this year's summer reading programs at Bradford! Our tech person will soon have links to the flyers from the library website, but until then, I'll give you some basic info. that will get you going. You can also pick up copies of the flyers at either of the library Circulation Desks. Registration begins Wednesday, June 6! As Teresa mentioned in an earlier post, we're taking it online this year for the first time and it's going to be a lot of fun for all of you and the staff, too! You will be able to create your account and access it wherever you have internet access, whether that's here at the library or from your home computer. There will soon be additional internet computers in the children's library so that you won't have such a long wait for access here.

You can start reading June 6 to earn prizes (and we've built in an extra prize level this year, plus special drawings when you attend our summer programs!). Programs will be starting up the following week, with Preschool Storytime every Thursday morning with Teresa Leonard at either the 10:00 session or the 11:00 session. Elementary Programs will be each Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 with Patricia Powell and Young Adult (Teen) Programs every Tuesday evening at 6:00 with Brianne Dennis.

You all keep asking for a return visit by The Bubbleman with his Bubble Magic program, so he'll be here Wednesday, July 25, at 6:30 p.m. And Yo-Yo Spinmaster Brent Dellinger pays a return visit, as well, with a free performance (including light and music show) at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 23. He will also be conducting a yo-yo workshop from 2:30-3:30 p.m. The cost for the Yo-Yo Workshop is $7.50 and is limited to 20 participants. Children's Singer/Songwriter Monty Harper will perform "Wacky, Witty Way-Out Songs" on Wednesday, July 11, at 6:30 p.m.--you won't want to miss this guy!

There will be two KPTS Share-A-Story Programs this summer: Saturday, June 9, at 11:00 a.m., and Saturday, July 14, at 11:00 a.m. Every child takes home a free book! Limit 20 families, please.

And for the Harry Potter fans, we will have our 2nd Hogwarts' Breakfast on Saturday, July 21, at 9:30 a.m.! Cost will be $5 per person. Limit 60. The Student Chapter of the American Library Association at ESU will be planning this event for us and they want it to be even better than our 1st Hogwarts' Breakfast two years ago!

We're in for a fun summer--stop in soon and pick up the flyers (and some fun books to read!)

As you can tell, that was my first post--maybe next time I'll figure out how to post it as myself instead of Teresa!
