2017 SUMMER READING PROGRAM
Please join The Burnsville Public Library as we get ready to “Build a Better World”
through our Summer Reading Program beginning June 15th
As school is now officially out for the summer, children are invited to attend the Burnsville Public Library’s Summer Reading Program being held June 15th, 22nd, 29th, and July 6th from 12:30 – 2:00. The library will be offering a variety of programs and giveaways for children from birth to 12 featuring games, crafts, stories and special guests in the hopes of encouraging children to develop a love of reading and to help make reading fun!
Our first program will focus on bullying with an activity and storybook to go along with this subject. Other special visitors include Peyton Berklite from the Tishomingo Emergency Management Agency and MSU Extension Agent and Master Gardener Zach Yow. And as an extra-special treat, we’ll have construction equipment on-site for the children to observe for our final program as well as weekly door prizes and goody bags for all the children who participate.
Children may visit the library between the hours of 10:00 and 4:00, Monday through Friday to pre-register for the program. All children who pre-register will have their name put into a drawing for a prize. At that time, children will sign a contract with the librarian to decide how many books they plan to read this summer. Everyone who completes the program by fulfilling their contract will have their name put into a drawing for a grand prize to be awarded the last day.
Please come out and join us in the fun this summer at the Burnsville Public Library. For more information or to volunteer, please contact Burnsville Librarian, Mrs. Charlotte Morris at 427-9258 at any time from Monday through Friday between the hours of 10:00 and 4:00. Thank You!
