On Your Mark, Get Set, READ!

eading can be one of many fun summer time activities . Research has shown it is also much more! Children who participate in public library summer reading programs not only avoid the “summer slide” in learning but also score higher on reading achievement tests than those who do not participate.

Just a few benefits to readers in the summer reading program include:

Summer reading programs encourage parents to read with their

children and highlight the joys of reading aloud. Reading aloud to

children at an early age is the most effective way to help them learn

and communicate with the written word.

Children who have easy access to books read more books. The

more children read, the better their fluency, vocabulary, and

comprehension.

Reading for pleasure is one of the building blocks needed for young

people to grow into healthy, productive adults.Source: http://www.cla-net.org/?78

It being summer, the program can be good fun and provide an

opportunity for family time. The Madison County Public Libraries strive

to encourage a love of reading in all our

residents, both young and mature.

Okay, so what exactly is letterboxing?

It’s an intriguing “treasure hunt” style activity that tradi-

tionally takes place outdoors. Letterboxers hide small,

weatherproof boxes in publicly accessible places (like

parks) and post clues to finding the box.

For the Summer Reading Program, we’ve created 9

temporary letterboxes: 3 in Hot Springs, 3 in Marshall, and

3 in Mars Hill. We’re going to help you out and give you a

BIG BREAK in finding 3 of the 9 letterboxes. HINT: each of

the 3 locations of the Madison County Public Libraries has

a letterbox hidden somewhere on site.

So, are you up for the challenge? Should you choose to

ACCEPT YOUR MISSION, and you turn in your LOGBOOK

with the impressions from the 9 letterboxing sites, we’ll

enter your name in a drawing to win a BIG PRIZE!!!

Just sign up for the letterboxing activity at any of the 3

Madison County Public Libraries. We’ll give you the clues

to follow and equip you with some needed supplies:

Your very own family letterboxing STAMP

An INKPAD

Your family LOGBOOK for collecting 9 letterbox stamps

Oh, and don’t forget the CLUES!

What do you think? Are you ready for an adventure?

Special thanks to our generous sponsors: Blue Heron Whitewater, French

Broad Adventures, and Sandy Bottom Trails

FAMILY OUTDOOR ADVENTURE

LETTERBOXING Grab the Whole Family and Go Have Some Fun!

Fun Fact:

Although letterboxing

dates back to 1854 in

England, did you know

that the VERY FIRST

letterbox in the United

States was placed right

here in Madison County at

Max Patch Mountain in

April 1998?

That’s just so cool! Are

you up for the challenge?

Grand Prizes: Enter to win

1 of 3 whitewater and

horseback riding trips for a

family of 4. FUN, huh?
