Travel to exotic lands, explore tropical environments and embark on an adventure of discovery of faraway places at your local library with this year's TD Summer Reading Club's Destination Jungle!
Call or visit your local library to register: open to children 12 and under, each child who registers will receive an activity book and poster. Read 10 books and receive a set of Jungle stickers. Complete the program by reading 25 books or more and your name will be entered in a draw for either Dinosaurs A to Z: The Ultimate Dinosaur Encyclopedia or Brain Play (a 4-CD and workbook set)!
Read your way through the Library's jungle booklist or select from the Library's shelves. Pick up a jungle-themed activity sheet each week when you visit the library (colouring, connect-the-dots, word searches, crossword puzzles).
The program runs from June 30-August 31 in Bridgewater, Greenfield, Liverpool, Lunenburg, and the Mobile Library. Supply are limited.
Stories to Share
Stories to Share is a great new service that suggests 100 terrific books to read with your preschool age children. Reading together as a family prepares your child for school, encourages a love of reading and helps with vocabulary development. Drop by the Library to pick up a checklist of all 100 books, and a Stories to Share bag with a set of five books. The bags will be available at any Town or Mobile Library.
Stories to Share bags generously provided by a grant through the Resource Recovery Fund Board.
