Summer Reading Club

Several Summer Programmer staff from various Marigold member libraries joined Marigold's Summer Program Support Assistant, Janae, by videoconference on May 17, 2017 to discuss ideas for summer programming for children and teens.

Books and Activities for T.D.  Summer Reading Club 2016
Using the theme :"WILD"

Summer reading club resources from the Spruce Grove Public Library including: 

• Reading Log
• Program Guide
• Our Summer Reading Club representative, his name is Barnaby Pinkston and he doubles as a mascot and a grand prize entry draw box (put the entries right in his mouth!)
• Our bulletin board representing how we interpreted WILD for this year’s theme

From the SGPL:
This is our WILD display for this year’s TD Summer Reading Club. We went with wild colours and prints, and ‘hello’ in different languages. We thought this would be a great way to catch everyone’s attention while introducing some of our interpretations of the word WILD. We are planning on keeping this up in the children’s section all summer with only slight alterations as the months pass. The next alteration will be replacing the speech bubbles with pictures of the books on the TD Summer Reads pamphlet.
Thanks!

Self-directed Wild themed activities for the 2016 TD Summer Reading program.
To be shared on Facebook Wednesdays through the summer & tagged #WildWednesdays
This is a way to promote the TD Summer Reading club to the parents and inexpensive ways to participate as a family.

Summer Reading Club plan for 2016 including: 

• Launch Party
• Games 
• Crafts
• And more!

This plan includes detailed instruction and images on crafts, games and other great resources. 

These are the bulletin boards I have put togther for the children's section of the library. The map bulletin board will act as a way to introduce the weekly theme or "destination" and to help the children buy into the prospect of going on an adventure and visiting a new wild destination each week. 

How we are using the "Wild" Theme in 2016

This brochure gives a schedule and description of all the SRC programming happening at MHPL this summer. We're able to provide free full day programming with lunch supervision. Most of the programs are for 7-9 years olds with several weeks open for children up to 12 years old. There is one week of programming for preschoolers at the end of August.
