Summer Reading Activities

Summer Reading Activities are "extras" - programs, presentations, and special events hosted by the library - designed to complement the reading goals of our annual summer reading challenges.  Participating in these special programs earns additional badges in Beanstack and additional tickets for the ticket drawing prizes!

For Secret Code Word activities, be sure to look for the sign with the secret code word or ask a library staff member during the program!

Turn unwanted junk mail and old magazines into beautiful handcrafted paper!

Americans throw away more paper products than any other material.  Most of it ends up in the landfill, but paper is one of the most recyclable materials around!  Discover how to turn unwanted paper, like junk mail, old magazines, and more, into beautiful handcrafted paper that can be recycled again and again! 

Younger children may need adult assistance to participate in this program.

 

Attend this program to earn your Junk Mail Paper Making badge and extra tickets!
