The Summer Reading Program is under way at the Breckinridge County Public Library, and a wide variety of activities are available at the library all summer long to keep kids reading during summer break.
“Our basic schedule is on Mondays we have our special events like our Pokemon Party that was this week and then this upcoming Monday is our Garden Party, and we’ll also have our special visitors on Mondays,” said BCPL Children’s Librarian Izzy Deaton. “On Tuesdays we have our regular story time, and we’ll be doing our outreach in the Cloverport area at different places each week. On Wednesdays we have Art Club at 1, and on Thursdays at 10 a.m. we have Gardening Club and in the afternoon starting at 1 we have Open STEAM. On Fridays we have our Book to Movie Club so we are screening movies that were originally books, and then on Saturday we’ll have activities that go along with the stories we have out on our Story Walk, so you can walk, get some exercise in, read a story, and then come inside, cool off, and do an activity that will go with that.”
In addition to programs and activities, the library also invites kids to participate in the Summer Reading Challenge, where kids can pick up a weekly reading log and enter to win a prize. There is also a Summer Reading Challenge for adults.
“We have a summer reading log that measures minutes as well, and then we also have our summer reading bingo, which is like specific little events and if you get a line bingo you can get a prize, and then there’s a monthly prize for reading for June and July for adults,” Deaton said.
Summer reading program events are free and no registration is required. Visit the Breckinridge County Public Library Facebook page or website for more information.
