New programs this summer at Huron County Library branches
I feat up your summer by joining the
Adult Summer Reading Program or
the Container Gardens program
HURON COUNTY, ON - For
many years local libraries have
offered a Summer Reading Pro-
gram for children and this year
they are excited to announce that
adults will now be able to join in
the fun!
'Ihe program has been designed
to be very fun and accessible to all.
Participants only need to read four
books over the summer.
Participants choose from six
fairly broad subject categories that
have been provided so there is a lot
of freedom to still read what inter-
ests you while also stretching your
comfort zone a bit.
"It is about more than just letting
adults in on the fun (although that
is a large part of it). It's also about
modeling positive behavior. If we
are expecting our children and
youth to continue to read over the
summer, adults can also show that
reading is fun and enjoyable for
everyone," explains Branch Ser
vices Librarian, Beth Rumble.
The program will run from July 1
- August 31. At the end of the pro-
gram, anyone who submitted their
contest log sheet will be entered to
win the grand prize - a $50 gift card
to Chapters Indigo plus 6 books
that fit each of the reading
categories.
To ensure no one gets a head
start, the log sheet won't be
revealed until July 1. Those wishing
to participate should keep an eye
on our social media pages and
website. Log sheets will also be
available in all 12 library branches.
In addition to the Adult Summer
reading program, the library will
once again be offering the TD Sum-
mer reading program for children,
ages four to twelve. Register at your
local branch early as spaces do fill
up.
Another new addition to several
library branches this summer is
container gardens. In partnership
with the Healthy Kids Community
Challenge, local libraries plan to
get children excited about the full
lifecycle of a vegetable.
Opportunities to participate in
growing, maintaining and eating
vegetables will occur over the next
several months as the produce rip-
ens. Vegetables will be freely avail-
able to any member of the public
wishing to enjoy the harvest.
Container gardens are located at
Exeter, Clinton, Goderich and Alice
Munro library branches. Don't
'LEA 'EC C a
forget that these branches, as well
as Kirkton, Bayfield and Brussels,
also offer a seed library lending
free seeds for your own garden.
Over the summer months the
library will have over 75 programs
and events happening at their
library branches, including several
special ones to celebrate Canada's
150th birthday.
Check out the library guide avail-
able through their website www.
