Library Summer Reading
Kickoff: Saturday, June 1, 10am
Library Summer Reading’s theme this year is Read, Renew, Repeat, a conservation message inviting participants to reduce consumption and reuse materials, and to read as a restorative measure for self-care and renewal.
The program kicks off Saturday, June 1 at 10am at the Aptos Branch Library. Festivities include performances by Magician James Chan, MusicalMe, face painting with Wisteria Faerie Creations and a performance by local musicians Cement Ship.
“The Summer Reading Program is all about celebrating reading for pleasure and encouraging children and everyone to keep reading all summer long.” Youth Programs and Services Manager Heather Norquist said. “I love that we have this opportunity to host special performances by magicians, puppeteers, musicians and more, and that we give children books as incentive prizes to build their home libraries”.
Participants win prizes for reaching their goals through each of the reading milestones set by the program. During the next two months, every branch in system and Bookmobile will host free activities for children, teens, and adults to encourage and support a love of reading.
