It’s only the first day of spring, but here at the Library we are
already well into planning for Summer Reading.
Here are a few highlights you can look forward to.
In celebration of our new building, our Summer Reading theme will be
“Discover...the Ridgefield Library.”
Local artist Paul Siegel is creating a special work of art for the
poster, which will feature a “Where’s Waldo” style cut-away drawing of the new
Children’s Library, and summer readers will be encouraged to go on a treasure hunt
to find the many exciting things featured in the drawing.
For the first time, we will be offering a Summer Reading opportunity
for youngsters aged two to five. Parents
will read with or to their pre-schoolers and fill out a game card to earn a
prize.
To help children create accounts and track their books, hand out prizes
and encourage more reading, the Library will be looking for approximately 50
middle and high school volunteers, each of whom can make a significant time
commitment (16 to 20 hours between June 23 and August 9). For more information
contact Geri Diorio at the Library or at gadiorio@ridgefieldlibrary.org.
