Taos Children's Library Summer Reading Program
The intent of the Taos Public Library's virtual summer reading program is to encourage children and teens to become life-long readers and learners by motivating them to read during non-instructional time. We also prepare free programming to provide children with fun and safe entertainment for the summer months. This year, the summer reading program will take place fully online or through mail. Please explore this web page for information on events, reading logs, turning in reading logs, and prizes. Should you have any questions, please visit the "Help" page.
Summer Events:
TEEN EVENTS EVERY TUESDAY AT 2:00 PM
CHILDREN EVENTS EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 10:30 AM
Summer reading program rules:
-
Registration begins Wednesday, June 3rd 2020. Students who register online and on this day will receive a free book by mail. Registration is open all summer and you can register your child at any time!
-
This is a Read-to-Me Program for Toddlers (ages 2-5). For students (grades 1-12) it is an independent reading program.
-
Students reading independently must choose books based on their own reading levels/capabilities.
-
All participants must complete their reading log fully before turning it in.
-
Once a log is complete, Toddlers and Children will receive a summer reading themed prize by mail. Teens will receive a ticket for each log turned in, and they can use that ticket to attain different prizes that will be mailed to them.
-
Each log turned in will be an entry for the grand prize. There will only be six grand prizes awarded for the whole program, but each participant will receive a certificate.
-
Parents/guardians must accompany children eight (8) and under to all Zoom library events. If you cannot attend zoom events, that is fine and will not affect turning in your logs or entries for the grand prize. However, attending events will give you extra submissions to the grand prize drawing.
-
All book logs must be turned in by FRIDAY, JULY 17TH. We will be unable to make any exceptions.
-
Grand prize winners will be announced on Wednesday, July 22nd. The library will get in contact with you directly about how to proceed if you are a winner.
