Corinth Library Summer Reading Schedule
How will you be spending your summer vacation? Might you go camping and make some s’mores? Perhaps you’ll head to the beach and splash in the ocean? Or maybe you’ll make some new friends at a local farm. Whatever your pleasure, the Corinth Library invites you to go on an adventure with us during our Summer Reading Program 2024!
We’ve added some cool crafts and awesome activities to our regular Story Time on Tuesdays. And our much-loved in-house scavenger hunt is back with a twist… you’ll have to find the images to solve a secret code! A variety of program themed Take-Home Activity Packets will be also available for you to pick up and enjoy at your leisure.
Are you interested in hiking? We’ve got you covered… our Story Walk is back at the Corinth Park, and we’ll have a special Story Hike along with a scavenger hunt one summer morning. We’ll be visiting one of the siege lines for a Nature Hike and learn about trees and creepy crawlies! In July, we are partnering with the park services for a Historic Home Hike.
If adventure that makes your heart beat a bit faster is your thing, we have a few of those lined up as well… Deb from the Natural Science Museum is making her return with her alligators in hand, Park Ranger Loralee will be presenting a gross and gory program called “Wounded”, and Kristina from the Red Cross will teach us how to prepare for emergencies.
For those with a competitive spirit, we will have a Lego Mania event where kids can make whatever they want and build as big as they can. We will offer a Puzzle Palooza Program to see who can solve a mystery by assembling a puzzle. Or if you enjoy art, Merry’s students will be back with another exhibit, and you can try your own hand at Art in the Park or Art Night at the Library.
Maybe you simply prefer to sit back and experience life vicariously through others. A local author, Patricia Bradley, will talk about her adventures in writing and a local photographer, Bill Avery, will share his adventures in worldwide travel. Then we will be making Adventure Journals to smash our own words, photos, and “junk” into… it’s a creative way to express yourself!
We sure have packed a lot into our Summer Reading Program this year but don’t forget…
