Summer Reading Week 4: Lucky Legends

Summer Reading Week 4: Lucky Legends

What’s that in the sky? Is it a bird? A plane? No, it’s a princess! 

Hello summer readers! This week we are discovering magic all around us through stories told through generations, such as Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Can you guess this week’s theme? Check this out! Lucky Legends! We’ll be reading stories that seem like your classic tale, but with crazy twists! Stay tuned for our craft this week, it sure is royalty! 

To have fun exploring from home, download this week’s magical colouring sheet and check out this week’s legendary reading list. And, as always, we encourage you to head into your local library to find even more amazing books! 

Bibbity Bobbity Boo!

Summer Reading Week 3: Creatures, Critters & Crawlers

Summer Reading Week 3: Creatures, Critters & Crawlers

Week three, where to be? Well, at your local library for the Summer Reading Program, of course! Leave your pets at home though, because this week’s stories are for kids only! 

This week we will be venturing into the world of animals and insects, being curious about how they adapt to live in their environments, what they spend all day doing, what and who they eat, and we are even going to make a home for our very own spider friend! The theme this week is: Check this out! Creatures, Critters, and Crawlers! Even though there won’t be actual animals at this meeting, we will be reading plenty of books, making lots of crafts, and playing lots of games that will show us how amazing animals are! We can’t wait to see you at the library this week! 

To learn more, download this week’s critter colouring sheet and check out this week’s animal-packed reading list

Say hi to your pet for us!

Hello summer readers! Now that we’ve gained our footing on land, it’s time to change with the wind and sail the wild seas! This week, we explore the seven seas, travelling on the magical sailing ships, befriending colourful parrots, fighting off sea monsters, and visiting the shark islands! Can you guess what this week’s theme is? Check this out! A Pirate Party!

Be sure to check out this week’s colouring sheets and pirate-themed reading list for some fantastic story suggestions! Of course, you can also visit your local Huron County Library Branch this summer! We hope to see you there!

Summer Reading Week 1: New Friends!

Summer Reading Week 1: New Friends!

School is out and the Summer Reading Program has begun—hooray! We are so excited to be visiting all the incredible Huron County Library branches and cannot wait to read some exciting stories with all of you who are joining us this summer!

Last week we kicked off the program with the theme Check This Out! New Friends! We met LOTS of new friends, so we focused on being brave and stepping outside of our comfort zones when it comes to meeting new people. This certainly can be scary, but give it a try! You’ll see that friends can be there to trust, play, and have fun!

For those of you who are unable to join us at the program, feel free to print off a colouring sheet at home or from your local branch. Each week, we will be sharing a new themed colouring sheet on our blog; we hope you enjoy them!

Also, we encourage you to go to your local library sometime this week and check out some great books to begin your summer reading adventures! For story suggestions based on this week’s theme, check out our online reading list for week 1!

Always be brave!
