Catch the Reading bug – Summer Reading Club – June 7 to August 2

Some bugs are “bad” bugs, like mosquitoes; some bugs are “good” bugs, like ladybugs, but the absolutely best bug is the reading bug, and the Barberton Public Library is going to be abuzz with lots of them this summer.

This year our summer reading club will focus on bugs. We’ll have buggy contests and buggy crafts, and even buggy prizes. How do you catch the reading bug? Just check out some books from the children’s department and when you have listened to them (if you are not reading on your own yet) or read them yourself, return them to the children’s department and tell us that you’ve turned into a reading bug. Children can join the reading club anytime the Library is open.

In addition to earning prizes by listening to or reading books, children are invited to a family storyhour on Mon. evenings at 6:30 pm starting June 9 and to craft programs on Tuesday and Wednesday starting June 10. Programs for children three to six will be Tuesday and Wednesday mornings from 10:30 am to 11:00 am starting on June 10. Children six to eight will have sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm starting the same date, and children eight to thirteen will have a craft session on Tue. from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm. Please call the Library each week to register for the craft sessions.
