SUMMARY:Summer Reading Challenge Kick Off Party with author Carrie Kruck
DESCRIPTION:Sign up for the Summer Reading Challenge!\nJoin Whiting Library for a summer filled with reading\, creativity\, and discovery! Our Summer Reading Challenge encourages kids simply to read every day—no sign-up\, timers\, or reading logs required. Just stop by the Youth Room\, pick up a summer reading challenge sheet (or not!)\, and take part in fun activities that keep learning going all summer long. \nOur special guest of honor will be New Hampshire author Carrie Kruck\, who will read from one of her picture books. All youth who attend can select two new books from various options! A Children’s Literacy Foundation (CLiF) grant makes the book giveaway and author presentation possible. \nDid you know that summer break can lead to the “summer slide\,” where kids lose academic progress? Our Summer Reading Challenge is the perfect way to keep young minds sharp! Regular reading helps reinforce literacy skills\, prevent learning loss\, and spark new achievements—all while having fun. \n📚 How It Works \n🎁 Every kid who visits the library on Saturday\, June 28\, from 10:30AM – 11:30AM will receive 2 free books! \n\nJust tell a staff member that who would like to participate in the Summer Reading Challenge.\nRead every day from June 28th to August 2nd.\nAttend fun events throughout the summer at the library. \n🧱 The Nature Museum programs\, Story hour & playgroups held weekly \n🎨 Try the artist scavenger hunt at the library. Color your world with fun art projects at the library this summer. \n\n\n📚 Kids read and report back to the library for a weekly pick from the prize basket or bookshelf!🍦 Celebrate All Summer Readers at our Ice Cream Social – Saturday\, Aug 2 at 11:30AM!\nLibrary cards for Whiting Library are free to all residents of the towns of Chester and Andover\, Vermont.
