Summer Reading Program @ PMPL
The Summer Reading Program is a great time for children, teens and parents to join in lots of fun at the library with programs and prizes for kids who love reading! Summer Reading Program is also designed to help sustain your child's reading skills throughout the summer so he or she can start the next school year on the right foot. Registration begins on June 15 @ the library.
This year, the library is embarking on a new project to provide on-line registration for our kids! This is very exciting as parents, kids & teens will be able to register from any location through links on our website, and then post the books and number of pages read. You can see when you earn prizes too, and rate the books you read. Kids can also write book reviews! We appreciate your cooperation while we transition to this new on-line registration. Please ask if you have any questions!
Our theme this year is Be Creative @ Your Library and involves all kinds of storyhours, books, games, programs, activities, and presenters with buggy themes.
For the 2009 Summer Reading Program, PMPL is very happy that we were awarded a grant for $750.00 from Horizon Milling, LLC in Mount Pocono to help support early childhood reading and programs. This grant money supports presenters for our SRP. Look for special events during the SRP that are sponsored by Horizon Milling, LLC.
Please note that our Kids Arts & Crafts Hour is for kids ages 7 & up and is ONLY ONE TIME PER WEEK ON WEDNESDAYS this year. Registration is required and meeting times are limited to 20 kids. Participating kids should have basic craft skills. Please call if you have any questions.
Day care centers are not permitted to attend our regularly scheduled storyhours, Kids Arts & Crafts, and some indoor special events at the library because of our severe space limitations and because of craft & activity preparation. However, PMPL will accomodate day care centers for their own events at the library, and can give permission for day care centers to register to attend special events held outdoors during the summer. Please contact the library for more information. (570-894-8860)
All SRP events require registration!
Some events may be canceled because of bad weather.
Please call the library for more information or if you have any questions about SRP @ 570-894-8860.
