Summer Reading has begun!
Sunday, June 19 - Saturday, August 13
Kids from preschool age through 6th grade may register for the summer reading program. Adults may read to kids who can’t read on their own. The reading program runs from June 19th to August 13th. Choose how you log your reading:
In-person: Read with monster. Mark off a cat footprint on your log for every day you read at least 20 minutes, then bring your log to the Library to collect “library dollars”. Use your library dollars to “BUY” new paperback books at the Library. Library books are 5 library Dollars. Children may purchase a maximum of 4 books but are encouraged to continue reading throughout the summer.
In Readsquared app: Sign up on the Library’s Readsquared page to earn badges and explore camp missions as you Read Beyond the Beaten Path.
Each week there will be a drawing for a surprise bag. To be eligible, have a staff member mark off your reading log or earn a ReadSquared badge for the week. Each Saturday, we will draw a name to win the weekly surprise.
Featured Artist for July:
Frieda Cron
Nature’s creative presence has been the driving force of Frieda’s photographic expression of her maritime experience in the PNW. Having spent more than half her life on the shores of Rosario Strait, at the confluence of Obstruction and Peavine Passes, she has had the rare opportunity to immerse herself in the many moods that the ocean presents in the inland waters of Western Washington. This environment provides an endless array of photographic opportunities of light, color, marine mammals, birds, and a wide variety of vessels of all shapes and sizes.
Frieda hopes you will enjoy her interpretation of this dynamic and ever changing view of the Pacific Northwest.
In 2019, she was selected and honored to be the Season Images Artist for the Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival where her pictures were displayed in their program, brochures, website and wine bottle labels.
