Our annual family Summer Reading Program kicks off today Wednesday, June 1. Whether you are a kid, a bigger kid, or even the biggest kid of all, we have a reading program for you!

One World, Many Stories (Children’s Reading Program) – Come to the children’s desk and pick up a reading folder. Keep track of the time you spend reading and return to the library to collect prizes, including treats from the Dairy Queen, Good Food Store, Del’s Place, and Carousel tokens. In addition, the library will be providing lots of programs. For school-age children (first grade and older) there will be activity programs every Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. These programs range from craft activities, to visits with animals, to stories and, of course, a party to celebrate the reading program. The Tuesday activities begin June 14 and run through July 26. Pick up a complete schedule of activities at the library in June. In conjunction with the summer reading program the library will also show movies Thursday afternoons at 2:00 p.m. The movies will begin June 16 and last through July 28.

U R Here (Teen Reading Program) - Teens, come to the library this summer and join the fun while U R Here. It all starts on Wednesday, June 15 with our Welcome to Summer Party at 2:00 p.m. Throughout the summer participate in the library’s Digital Photo Scavenger Hunt. Your photos will be on display August 5 as part of First Friday festivities. To get you started in the right direction attend the Digital Photo Class on Wednesday, June 22 at 2:00 p.m. at the library. And don’t forget the Steampunk Jewelry activity on Wednesday, July 13 at 2:00 p.m.

Novel Destinations (Adult Reading Program) – Pick up a check-off sheet at the library’s reference desk where you will have the opportunity to pick ten books to read from categories relating to travel. Complete milestones along the way for prizes: read three books to win a free small beverage at Civitella Espresso Bar; read five books to get your name entered into a drawing for a prize basket.

Come to the library (including our branches at Big Sky and Frenchtown, as well as Lolo) for some summer reading fun for everyone in the family!
