Huron County libraries launch program to get children reading
Gerard Creces
Readers, get ready to explore unchart-
ed
ed territory this summer as libraries
across Huron County are bringing 'lost
worlds' to your fingertips.
Summer literacy student Amy
McConnell will be hopping from library
to library between July 3 and Aug. 20
bringing stories, games and crafts to
young readers ages four to 12.
"Myself and -another summer literacy
student are putting the program on at
12 libraries across Huron County," she
said. 'Td like to be a teacher, so it's the
perfect job."
The main focus is the theme of Lost
Worlds, and McConnell said each week
there will be a different topic to explore
within that theme, be it dinosaurs,
pirates, pyramids and anything in
between.
"It's a fun job," said McConnell. "I
know the kids all love it. It's fun to see
the kids' excitement."
Sponsored by TD Bank Financial
Group, each child receives a booklet,
poster and stickers, as well as other
incentives and prizes to reward the avid
bookworm.
McConnell said bouncing around to all
the libraries makes for a busy summer,
but she said it also makes for a lot of fun.
"I never knew there were this many
libraries when I started," she said, jokingly.
Visiting each library in the county
once a week, McConnell makes sure
every child will have the opportunity to
come out and explore.
