The Hardin County Public Library invites kids, teens, and adults alike to participate in their 2025 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.
“I’m offering on Mondays a lot of artistic programs,” said HCPL Children’s Librarian Amy Rivera. “Some of them are going to use paint sticks, and so we’re going to paint a birch forest with a lot of colorful leaves. The following week we’ll be painting. It’s called Paint Like Monet. We’re going to paint one of his sunsets with a silhouette of a lot of buildings.”
That’s HCPL Children’s Librarian Amy Rivera. These activities supplement the goal of the Summer Reading Program, which Rivera says 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 for those programs available.
Stop by the library, located at 100 Jim Owen Drive in Elizabethtown, or visit hcpl.info for more information.
