Spring weather has barely arrived, but the Library staff is busy making
plans for the 2013 Summer Reading Program.
The smaller size of our temporary facility is forcing us to make some
modifications to our usual activities, but Ridgefielders can rest assured that
Summer Reading will once again be a vibrant and busy time at the Library.
Summer Reading will run from June 24 through August 10, a full seven
weeks, and there will once again be separate but thematically related programs
for children (going into Grades K-5), teens (entering Grades 6-12) and
adults. The main theme is Dig Into
Reading, and we will be exploring this with prizes and programs ranging from a
performance of “The Secret Garden” to a “Digging into Nature” live animal
program. Participants will track their
progress using our online reading log software.
One new offering this year will be the incorporation of a Massive Open
Online Course (MOOC) into the program for adults. More will be announced about this interesting
innovation soon.
Once again we are grateful to the Friends of the Ridgefield Library,
whose major support has made Summer Reading possible for dozens of years, and
to the numerous local merchants and organizations who contribute prizes and
co-sponsor events.
