Summer Reading Program

The 2021 Summer Reading Theme is Tails and Tales and the Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library has lots of great themed activities planned for this year! The Library will have lots of fun take-home crafts and activities, and a big end-of-program party in August with a special guest performer.

Animals of all kinds roam the lands and soar through the air and many have both a Tail and a Tale! Explore the world of life around you and find out what is special about so many of the animals who live with us on our little blue planet. Registration can be completed online beginning June 1 by going to barbaramoscatobrownlibrary.org and locating the Summer Reading program under our “Library Programs” tab. Parents and guardians, along with their children can also come in and register for the Summer Reading Program in person anytime during the library’s regular service hours between June 14 and June 26.

The reading portion of the Program runs for the 5-week period from Monday June 28, through Saturday, July 31. This year the reading logs must be returned by July 31st. Reading requirements are simple and every effort is made to adjust to a family's summer schedule of vacations and other summer events. Students along with their parents or guardians set their own reading goals as to the number of books they will read each week during the Summer Program.

Those participating can visit the library for their reading logs at any time. Encouraging youngsters to read over their summer vacation is the aim of the Summer Program. There is no contest to see who can read the greatest number of books. EVERYONE who completes the Summer Program and fulfills their reading goals will be invited to a special party (along with some great surprises) at the conclusion of the Program.
