Family Reading Program 2010



Come on in the water's fine!

We are busily numbering our reading folders in anticipation of the June 1st start of our annual Family Reading Program. Each summer readers of all ages can participate by picking up a reading folder at the Children's Desk in the library. As you read throughout the summer you will earn prizes. Our prizes have been generously donated by Dairy Queen, Del's Place, The Good Food Store and The Friends of the Missoula Public Library. In addition to the prizes for reading, we have summer activities and family movies. Our summer activities are Tuesday afternoons at 2pm and will run from June 15th until July 27th. The family movies show every Thursday afternoon at 2pm and begin on June 17th with our last movie on July 29th. When you pickup your reading folders, pick up a schedule of activities and movies too.

This year we have a special activity folder for the little ones, ages birth to 3. This form emphasizes the early literacy skills that are so important to your child's development. Parents can choose to complete this folder instead of or in addition to the regular reading folder.


Teens also have an additional game board they can fill out. They can fill in a BINGO Card that emphasizes reading, writing and other fun activities. When the teen has made a bingo, up, down or diagonally, they submit their card along with a signed permission slip for an end of summer lock-in party. The party is limited to 20 teens so be sure to pick up your BINGO Card on June 1st and start right away.

Although you will pick up your reading folder at the Children's Desk our Family Reading Program is for reader's of all ages. We encourage all readers to stop by to get a folder and then enjoy a good book.
