Reading is So Delicious – the 2013 Summer Reading Program http://www.pvld.mobi/kids/reading-is-so-delicious-the-2013-summer-reading-program http://www.pvld.mobi/kids/reading-is-so-delicious-the-2013-summer-reading-program#comments Fri, 31 May 2013 19:59:39 +0000 http://www.pvld.mobi/kids/?p=2140 Murphy Cat and Mouse ReadingThe Palos Verdes Library District is serving up a menu of great reading activities as part of the 2013 Summer Reading Program, Reading is So Delicious!

Summer is the perfect time for kids to enjoy a story, read some funny riddles, or dig into some nonfiction to learn about a topic they love. With no tests, book reports, or dioramas required, kids are reminded of the fun of reading – a crucial development in a child’s reading life. Just as important, reading over the summer also helps school age children maintain and improve their reading skills over the long summer months.

School age children and even preschoolers and babies can keep track of the number of minutes they read or listen to and earn patches, similar to a boy scout badge, but unique to PVLD. Preview our all new patches here! Kids can start reading June 1 and start collecting patches June 10.

Kids also love the exciting weekly events each branch offers in June, July and August.  Our activities start June 7 and  feature amazing magicians, hilarious jugglers, music, crafts, and plenty of fun with books, reading, and even food! For details on days, times and programs, visit our calendar at http://host5.evanced.info/pvld/evanced/eventcalendar.asp

Starting June 17, kids will have fun with  PVLD’s famous Riddle of the Week. In summer, children coming to the library can solve a riddle using a secret code and get a small prize. The Riddle of the Week is designed so that preschoolers and older kids have fun while they improve their reading skills or early literacy skills.

No one is too young or too old to enjoy books and reading at the library. PVLD offer special summer reading  programs, prizes and events for grown ups too!  The Summer Reading Program at PVLD runs from June 1st to August 23rd. Just visit any PVLD library to find out why Reading is So Delicious!

It’s that time of year again when the Palos Verdes Library District teams up with local author Mary Jo Hazard to conduct the Peacock Bookmark contest! This is a wonderful opportunity for children to learn about the birds, display their artistic ability and become aware of how unique it is to have peacocks in the neighborhood!

Kids in Kindergarten through 8th grade can enter. There will be three divisions based on grade level and each division will have five winners. Winners will be honored at a party at the Malaga Cove Library, receive small prizes from local merchants,  and their winning bookmarks will be displayed in the main library after the contest. Winners will also be invited to ride on the Peacock Float at the Holiday Parade of Lights in December. Terranea has also donated a generous prize for the winners! Winners and their families will be invited to a private Falconry Experience at Terranea to learn about another fascinating local bird.

PV Libraries will have entry forms available March 1st or you can print one following the link below.  Entries must be turned into any PV Library by March 30.
