Be Creative @ Your Library! 

 

 

 

     Our libraries are gearing up for an anticipated outburst of ‘creativity’ this summer. The 2009 Summer Reading Program, “Be Creative @ Your Library” will explore the worlds of drama, music, dance, art, books, and more. All events are free and open to young people from preschool through young adult. Weekly programs in July and August feature prizes and story hours. Families with younger children are invited to participate in the Read-to-Me portion of the program by either reading to them or allowing the children to read to others.
     Registration begins Saturday, June 6 at the Carteret County Public Library in Beaufort, Monday, June 15 at the Western Carteret Public Library in Cape Carteret, Monday, June 22 at the Bogue Banks Public Library in Pine Knoll Shores, and Monday, June 29 at the Newport Public Library. At registration, children receive a special packet containing a Reading Log, stickers, and other reading incentives.
     The Summer Reading Program asks that all participants read at least 20 minutes a day; children keep a log of their reading, and report it to the library for free prizes.
