SLCL Announces Summer Reading Clubs for the Whole Family

St. Louis County Library's popular summer reading clubs will kick-off early this year starting May 13 and running through August 3. The library offers clubs for all ages: babies, kids, teens and adults, with fun programs and great prizes for each age group. Participation is free, and as an added incentive, preschool children through those entering 12th grade will have their fines waived when they sign up for a summer reading club (some restrictions apply). Registration begins May 13; simply stop by any St. Louis County Library branch to sign-up. Teens and Adults can register online at http://www.slcl.org/summer-reading-clubs.

Grow a Reader @ Your Library
Baby Summer Reading Club for ages 0-2
Parents, keep track of how many books you read to your little one and how many library story times you attend on the log sheet you receive when you sign up. Bring the log sheet to the library when you reach each prize stop. Prizes include O Balls, board books and tickets to the Magic House.

Dig Into Reading
Kids Summer Reading Club for ages 3 - entering 5th grade
Kids, track the number of minutes or books read on a special log sheet. Bring your log sheet to the library when you reach each prize stop and earn great prizes. A full line-up of great programs will be featured including live performers, crafts, puppetry, animals, movies, treats, and, of course, stories. Prizes include giant beach balls, excavation kits and a chance to win Cardinals tickets. Kids who complete the club will receive a pass to one of five Library Nights at the Magic House (pass includes free entry for one child and up to two adults). In addition, kids who complete the SRC bonus round will be entered into a raffle for additional prizes.

Beneath the Surface
