CATCH THE READING BUG
SUMMER READING PROGRAM
Bugs are the theme for this summer’s program, so there’ll be lots of creepy crawly things going on at the library. Children ages 3-11 can sign up to “Catch the Reading Bug” any time after June 16th. They’ll be given a reading record to keep track of the books they read (or have read to them) and a game card with seven tasks (like “Read a book about bugs”) to complete. Great prizes are awarded for reading the required number of books and finishing the game card. Examples of prizes include a free ice cream cone and free entry to the Roger Williams Park Zoo and Green Animals Topiary Garden. We also have several special events planned:
Monday, July 14th, 10AM
Storyteller Christopher “Kavi” Carbone
“Spiders, Mosquitoes & Bugs - Oh My!”
Featuring “The Funky Funky Spider” and more hoppin’ songs & stories from the fascinating insect world, Christopher "Kavi" Carbone weaves a web of wonder through storytelling, music and interactive fun!
Wednesday, July 30th, 6PM
Animal Experiences with Dave Marchetti
Here’s a chance to meet some bugs up close and personal, along with some of the animals who are their predators.
Monday, August 4th, 2PM
“Metamorphosis” Picnic for Program Participants
Metamorphosis is when a caterpillar changes its shape completely and turns into a butterfly. We’ll make caterpillar bracelets or painted caterpillar rocks, and kid-sized butterfly wings. Then there will be an outdoor picnic with the bugs in our backyard.
STORY HOUR
Children and caregivers listen to picture books, interact with
flannel boards, sing songs and learn hand plays, and make a simple craft.
Story Hour is held Mondays and Fridays at 10:15 and will continue through the end of July.
All ages are welcome.
To sign up please call 884-5524 or visit the library.
