What Does Your Library Offer?

In keeping with our theme this week…exploring your local area, investigate what your library is offering. You and your children may be delighted at what you discover.
Summer reading programs at local libraries offer youngsters fun and reading encouragement. Our library, the Pease Public Library in Plymouth, NH, has excited young readers for many years. I’m always impressed by what is planned for youngsters and the community. Also, the children receive prizes, donated by local businesses, for the number of books they read during the summer.

Even, though my grandchildren are too old (high school and college age when the programs are geared for pre-school through grade 8), we do attend some of the family programs…movies, entertainers and projects.
I’ve taken Kara and Alex to these summer reading programs since they were in pre-school. Then when I was no longer needed to help, I enjoyed the evening reading and using my laptop while I waited.
Visit your library and those in neighboring towns. We still check out many books and movies throughout the summer and enjoy them at home.
