2010 Summer Reading Program
“MAKE A SPLASH, READ”, is the Carter Memorial Library’s summer reading program which will start July 7th. This program is designed to encourage children to enjoy reading and keep their reading skills sharp over the summer months. We are committed to helping the young readers learn to love books and our other library resources. The requirements for a summer reading certificate are to “read” or “be read to” for 20 minutes a day and keep track of those minutes on a reading card. When a card gets full, it will be turned in and a new card given out. An achievement certificate will be earned by turning in 5 completed cards before August 11th.
The activity part of this year’s program will feature the many exciting presentations listed below:
July 7 1-2 pm Tom Kastle is a performer of traditional maritime music, a licensed master in the U.S. Coast Guard and has served as a captain aboard tall ships on the Great Lakes. (Sponsored by Winnefox Library System)
