VOORHEES, NJ – May 19, 2015 – The Camden County Library System joins libraries across the state in offering 2015 summer reading programs based on the themes “Every Hero Has a Story” for children and “Unmask” for teens and tweens.

Participants can register online or at their local branch and pick up a reading log to track all they read during the summer or everything read to the youngest children. Report the hours and titles read to one of the library’s eight branches to earn incentives and chances to win larger prizes at the local branch.

Enrolling children and encouraging teens and tweens to join the program is a great way to maintain and even sharpen reading skills over summer vacation. Registration dates for the programs vary by branch. Call the local branch to find out details.

The library’s different locations (Bellmawr, Ferry Ave. in Camden, Gloucester Twp., Haddon Twp., Merchantville, Downtown Camden, South County and Voorhees) will be offering special programs based on the superhero themes during the summer. Note these events:

  • Mr. Malcolm presents.... Superheroes at Merchantville on Wednesday, June 10, 3:30 p.m.
  • Voorhees kicks off seven-weeks of summer reading on Friday, June 19, 6:30 p.m., with Super Hero Training Camp!
  • Tall tales, magical journeys and heroes of all kinds will be the subject of Haddon Township’s Reading Club, starting Monday, June 22, 2 p.m. and each Monday during summer
  • The Nilsa I. Cruz-Perez Downtown Branch will host a Cartooning Workshop on Saturday, June 27, 11 a.m. Learn to draw your own superheroes.
  • Stop by the Bellmawr branch on Friday, July 10, 11a.m., to Make and Cape! Stuffed animal by day, superhero by night! Make and cape your stuffed animal!
