Summer Reading Program

No flu shot is needed to Catch the Reading Bug -- the theme of this year's Summer Vacation Reading program. Designed for children ages 3 - 12 years of age, an Early Bird Sign-up will be on Thursday, May 22 during our SC-ETV's Meet & Greet Clifford the Big Red Dog event from 10 am - 12 noon at the Downtown Main Library. If unable to attend, registration officially will begin on June 4 at all branches, and the annual program will run through August 6.The purpose of Summer Vacation Reading is twofold -- to retain the skills from one school year to the next, and to instill a lifelong love of reading. For ten books read, participating children will receive a prize, and for twenty books read, children will receive a Reading Certificate of accomplishment. Many mini specials are planned throughout the nine weeks of the program; so please register and follow along with the Calendar of Events which comes with the registration packet. Happy summer reading!
