AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! IT'S HERE!!!!!!!!

SUMMER READING PROGRAMS!!!!

We have reading programs for everyone this summer at Hiawatha Public Library! We have a number of exciting prizes, programs to participate in and of course the joy that reading brings! Read on further to learn a little more about each program and how to sign up!

The theme for this year's Children's Summer Reading Program is "Get Creative @ Your Library". This program is designated for children entering preschool through 5th grade. Children are rewarded for every level they complete. There are five levels in total and to complete each level, children are encouraged to read for roughly an hour to fill in each space. There will even be a grand prize drawing for a bike!

The theme for this year's Teen Summer Reading Program is called "Express Yourself @ Your Library." This program is for students entering sixth grade through twelfth grade. Similar to the children's program, for each level completed teens bring in their reading packets and recieve prizes. There will also be a grand prize drawing for some wicked cool gift certificates at the end of the summer!
And finally, we have our Adult Summer Reading Program called "Master the Art of Reading". Adults 18 and over are able to participate in the program. For every book read this summer, participants will fill out a drawing slip and drop it in our handy dandy trash bin. We will do weekly drawings for wonderful prizes that include tickets to local theatre productions and restaurants.

So there you have it kids, all the fun you can pack into 8 weeks of summer!
