On the Go with Little Travelers
Early Start for our youngest summer readers!
Birth-Preschool
Registration begins Wednesday, May 1
Calling all parents! Have Book - Will Travel begins in June, but babies, toddlers, and preschoolers can register early for our 2013 Summer Reading Program! We encourage parents to share early literacy activities with young children. So even if they are not reading on their own, they can participate in this program at Plum Library. We have suggestions for a variety of pre-reading activities you can share with your child. Summer reading is self-paced and independent, and we are giving you a head start so you and your little one will have plenty of time to reach your goal! When you register in Youth Services, we will give you the information you need to get started. Rewards for our Early Start readers can be earned Monday, May 13 through Sunday, August 4.
School-age children can register beginning Saturday, June 1.
