Salmon Public Library

2009 Summer Reading Program

Explore the worlds of books, music, art, dance and more!
The Salmon Public Library is excited to announce it's upcoming 2009 Summer Reading Program, which is open to young people, preschool through young adult and features programs, prizes, story hour, reading clubs and more! 

How the Program Works:

1.  Children ages 5 to 12 may register for the program.

2.  You'll receive a log book to record the titles of books you read this summer.

3.  Sign a contract with the librarian to decide how many books you plan to read.

4.  We'll be offering a variety of programs in July.

5.  Everyone who completes the program by finishing their contract
will earn a reward.

6.  The library welcomes children of all abilities.

Children younger than than 5 may participate in the Read to Me portion of the program.  The Tuesday programs, however, are only for 5 to 12 year olds due to the skill level needed for the activities.

Programs for the 5 to 12 year olds will be held each Tuesday at 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM starting in July. Programs include reading, crafts and a snack.  Volunteers are needed and appreciated for the crafts portion of the program!

Three Reasons Summer Reading Is Important-

• Children read more when they listen to and discuss books.
• Reading skills grow by reading.
• Reading helps improve children’s writing.
