This summer, we invite kids ages 5-12 to register online for the Summer Reading Program. Pick up a summer kit starting July 5th that includes bookmarks to track minutes read for the 500 Minute Reading Challenge, colouring pages, puzzles and the craft supplies and instructions to create some great crafts!
Check out the TD Summer Reading Program: TD Summer Reading Club. It is free, you register online, and you can track minutes read with a digital booklet.
There will be ebooks available to read any time over the summer (no waiting) and you can view author/illustrator readings and workshops. Kids can vote for a favourite book, review books, participate in weekly trivia, and more.
Check the TD website for kid-safe information. The library does not have access to any of your online content.
Follow us on Facebook or our Blog. We'll be adding content throughout the summer (flim shorts, videos, contests, book suggestions, programs, activities, and more!)
Some highlights:
| July Colouring Contest | Family story times |
| August Lego Contest | LEGO videos |
| NFB Summer Film Series | Outdoor activities in partnership with local community groups |
