Still time to enjoy HCPL’s Summer Reading Program

There is still time for kids, teens, and adults to participate in the Hardin County Public Library’s Summer Reading Program, which runs now through July 26.

The theme for this year’s Summer Reading Program is “Color Our World”, which focuses on the arts. Check the library’s calendar for events related to the Summer Reading Program.

HCPL Children’s Librarian Amy Rivera says the goal of the Summer Reading Program is “to encourage literacy and to keep kids thinking, to keep their minds thinking about subjects so that they don’t go back to school having at least completely forgotten everything they learned.”“

Families can stop by the library to pick up reading logs for the program.

“They will complete sections of their reading log to get tickets for the weekly prize, which each week we’re having a giveaway of a nice big art set, so eight different art sets over the course of the summer,” Rivera said.

Kids who complete the reading log will be entered for the grand prize drawing. Separate logs are available for teens and adults, with prizes and entries in the grand prize drawing available.

Stop by the library, located at 100 Jim Owen Drive in Elizabethtown, or visit www.hcpl.info for more information.
