The weeks of 6/7 and 7/12 we will have a more informal version of our summer reading as a couple of churches have VBS those weeks. If you aren’t participating in that particular Vacation Bible School, we will still have fun things to do at the library, it just will not be a part of the formal program. Welcome/Registration kits are available at the library starting Monday 23rd. These kits contain a flyer detailing summer reading specifics, a summer reading journal to earn you a free book from Barnes & Noble, and a permission slip to allow children over five to visit the McCone County Museum.
As always, summer reading is open to children 3 and older. Children younger than three are encouraged to visit the library on Library Saturday (June 4, July 9, and August 6) for our 11 am story time or on weekdays you could probably talk one of us into an impromptu story!
