Moms love to see their kids reading and kids love to get new books--the Summer Reading Programs are great for both! In addition to encouraging our kiddos (and us!) to read, the local libraries have a ton of fun activities planned for the summer. Here's the rundown of what to expect this summer from our local libraries....
BETTENDORF
Once again the BPL will have a summer program! Stop by the library to sign up you and your children. Their prizes are a secret, so you'll have to get reading to find out what you'll win. To see the entire list of activities, visit bettendorflibrary.com/youth-services
DAVENPORT
All three libraries are working together on this program. Stop into any one of the Davenport libraries (Fairmount, Main, Eastern Avenue) and get signed up. You'll receive a coupon for a FREE book from the Friends' Book Stores, a cloth library bag at the half-way mark, and a new FREE book when you finish. Once you're done, you get entered into the grand prize drawings for prizes like a Wii, iPod Shuffle, Color Nook, Fuhu Tablet, $50 iTunes gift card, or a Kindle Paperwhite. Visit www.davenportlibrary.com for more information.
MOLINE
The Moline library allows you to sign up for their reading program online. Kids in 1-6th grade can sign up at www.molinelibrary.com. You'll record your minutes online and the library will notify you when it's time to come pick up your prize. How easy is that?
ROCK ISLAND
The RI library is kicking off their program this Saturday with a carnival. To kick off summer in a big way, the Rock Island Library will host the Paws to Read Summer Reading Carnival from noon to 3:00 pm on Saturday, June 7. Activities include summer reading registration and prizes, hourly prize drawings, a children's bounce house, games, mascot visits, free face painting, magic, chalk art, and special presentations, including a K-9 police demo, and a costumed pet parade.
