The 2023 Summer Reading Theme is All Together Now and the Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library is rolling out even more events and fun activities this year!
In spirit of the program theme, the library will begin a “Lend a Helping Paw” donation drive for the local SPCA.
The Library will have 3 in-person programs including our big end-of-program party in late July with a special guest performer for those registered for Summer Reading, plus, lots of fun take-home crafts, activities, and prizes.
Registration is open now through June 23, and you can register online 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.
Lend a Helping Paw donation drive will launch June 5 and will continue through August 31, 2023. Bring your donation items to the library during regular hours and place in the marked bin. CAM Co SPCA’s Wish List includes: paper towels, wet and dry food for kittens, cat treats, powdered milk for kittens, non-toxic cleaners, and small cat toys.
This year, we’re starting off the Summer Reading Program with a very special kickoff event on June 23 at 4:30 pm with special guest, area author, John Schlimm. We will create a special piece of communal art, share stories, and enjoy some walking tacos. This will also be the last chance to submit registration forms for Summer Reading.
The reading portion of the Program runs for the 5-week period from Monday June 26, through Saturday, July 29. The end-of-program party will be held the same day. We will also host a mid-event Chalk the Walk program with help from ADAS where kids will make their own chalk and create a “chalk walk” outside the library.
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 Reading 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 Reading 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.
