Programs for Kids

The Library offers a full array of programming for different ages and interests throughout the year, including a Summer Reading Program.  Library programs are open to the public and free of charge, sponsored by the Curtis Friends.

Check the kids’ library events calendar for current listings and program descriptions.

SUMMER READING PROGRAM

Children use a game board to complete reading-related activities throughout the weeks of summer and track their progress, with fun prizes along the way including a new book.  Pre-readers use a read-to-me version of the game.  For preschool – grade 5.  (Older kids may join the teen program.)
The 2013 Summer Reading Program begins Wednesday, June 19.
