Summer Reading
Sign up for the Summer Reading Challenge is Under Way
This year the Buchanan County Public Library’s Summer Reading Program will run from June 12th through July 19th with sign up and preregistration for in person classes starting May 1st. All ages are welcome. There is a challenge and prizes for every age group. The Pre K challenge is for children birth to 5years, the Children’s challenge for 6 through 11 year olds, the Teen challenge for 12 to 17 year olds, and the Adult challenge for those 18 and older. Every challenge gives participants the opportunity to choose in person or online activities. All in person classes are scheduled for outdoors with limited seats available. Please call or come by the library to reserve your seat. Special outdoor events include a Fish StoryWalk® on June 12th and a Tie Dye Tshirt party on July 17th. Indoor special events include two movies with popcorn and soda. Preregistration for special events opens seven days before the event.
Sign up for the reading challenges at bcplnet.org. This allows you to record reading time for prizes, earn chances in drawings, and collect electronic badges. This year we’re adding reading streaks and the opportunity to complete against family and friends on leaderboards. Online activities will appear in the Beanstack app. Additional theme based activities will be posted on our webpage as will information about the program in general. You can use a computer, tablet, or phone for the online challenge!
This year’s theme is Reading Colors Your World. Week 1 focuses on art and reading. Week 2 is color in nature. Week 3 is all about tales of imagination. Week 4 is Appalachian views and heritage. The fifth and final week is about light and magic. So we will be exploring art, color, light, and how our understanding of our world is shaped by reading and sharing. In person activities will include games, stories, crafts, music and fun. Online activities will feature virtual field trips, videos, printable activities, web articles and more.
The five week challenge is free to all Buchanan County residents and to all Buchanan County Public Library card holders! For more information and to sign up call the library at 276-5721 or visit us at 1185 Poe Town St Grundy VA 24614.
