As the school year comes to a close, library staff members are ready for a busy summer. We begin planning early in the spring for the Summer Reading Program that runs through August 28 this year. This year’s theme is Build a Better World.
Our calendar is full of activities such as crafts, movie
showings, book discussions, creative writing sessions and letterboxing. Summer
Reading is a great way to keep adults and teens engaged in reading throughout
the summer and you may even win a prize! For younger children, continuing to
read throughout the summer is a key to academic success and avoiding the summer
slide. In addition, if you are looking for a place to cool off from the heat,
we are open 6 days a week, the building is air conditioned, and there is plenty
to keep you busy. Besides reading a book, magazine or the newspaper, you can
sit and do puzzles, play a board game, or use one of our public access
computers.
After Summerfest, Reid Stories, our intrepid chicken will
return. Kids can begin searching the library for him on Monday, June 26. You
never know where in the library Reid may be hiding. When you find him, let a
staff person know so you can choose your prize from the treasure box. The chicken
won’t be here long so be sure to stop in to see him soon!
Stop by the library and speak to a staff person for all the
details about Summer Reading and check out our online calendar for information
about all our programs. Join us! There’s something for everyone. All programs
are free and open to the public. Be sure to visit our website www.windham.lib.me.us
and Facebook page for the most up to date news and information about all our
programs or call 207-892-1908.
I
hope to see you in the library soon!
