This summer, the library once again hosts a range of free activities for children, teens, and adults that encourage and support a love of reading. Make sure to register so you can attend the great classes we have outlined in this newsletter.

You can also win prizes for reaching your reading goals by registering for our summer reading program online at www.wooddalelibrary.org. Kids, begin counting your minutes. Grownups, track the titles of library materials or the programs you attend. Teens can choose to participate in the youth or adult program. The entire family can earn fabulous prizes as you learn together this summer with the Library. In addition, we need teen volunteers with an interest in helping with programs. This is a great opportunity to earn volunteer hours for school, church, and giving back to the community. Stop in or sign-up online.

This program is designed for children from birth to their first day of Kindergarten. We invite families to spend time together outside the Library fostering a love of reading while gaining the valuable pre-literacy skills that are essential to reading success. Register and receive your 100-books log by stopping in today.
