Summer Reading Programs at Your Libraries

Kids of all ages can enjoy exciting events and fun reading incentives this summer with “Bookawocky: A Celebration of Summer Reading” at all seven of the Scott County Library System branches, starting Monday, June 11 and running until Saturday, August 11. Studies show that kids who don’t read regularly over the summer often read at a lower level when they return to school in the fall. To help keep that from happening, the Scott County libraries offer this free and easy reading incentive program for kids of all ages. How does it work? Very simple -- kids in the preschool, elementary, or teen programs can earn fun prizes just by reading library materials.

Along with prizes for reading, all the branches of the Scott County Library will also offer lots of free and entertaining programs and performances for all ages – these programs may include book clubs, storytimes, live animal programs, magicians, musical acts, book parties, art programs and workshops, and lots more. Events are free and open to the public – no registration is required unless indicated.

For the most current and complete listing of program times and locations, check our website at www.scott.lib.mn.us beginning May 1st and choose “Summer Reading Program.” Hours and locations of all the branches are also listed on our website.
