Children (Preschool - 5th grade)
“Catch the Reading Bug” this summer at the Seymour Library! The Summer Reading Game kicks off June 28th with an outdoor live bugs program. Come check out the creepy-crawlies and learn more about centipedes, millipedes, scorpions, snails and spiders!
The number of books read during the summer is consistently related to academic gains. We’ll offer lots of prizes and fun motivation to keep kids reading all summer long.
We'll also have lots of fun programs about bugs! Come see the Teens' Reader Theater starring Anansi the Spider. Or maybe you'd like to learn the Bug Dance. We'll also have Bug Crafts with Deb Cody, magic and ventriloquism with Bruce Weaver and Friends, and a "Wild Songs and Nature" outdoor concert.
Summer storytimes will be held on Wednesdays from 11:00- 11:30 am for ages 3-5 only during the six weeks of the Summer Reading Game. Regular storytimes will resume in September. Registration is required. |
