Time is Running Out!

The Summer Reading Adventure is coming to an end.  All reading minute must be recorded on the myLIBRO app OR your paper record sheet turned into the library by 7 p.m. on Wednesday,  June 26.

Participants who have recorded reading 550 minutes will be invited to the pool party with lunch on Thursday, June 27 from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.  We will walk over to the pool after the regular Thurday program, “The Quest of the Kakapo”  which everyone is invited to attend from 9:30 -11 a.m.   A big thank you to the City of Kinsley and Kinsley Food Pride for the pool party and lunch!

The participants who have read 700 minutes or more and have finished kindergarten and older have earned a bus trip to the Sternberg Museum in Hays.  They should be at the library by 8:45 a.m. on Tuesday, July 2.  The bus will leave promptly at 9 a.m.  Lunch and a snack for the drive home will be provided.  We’ll return about 3:30 and will post on Facebook when we leave Hays and when we arrive at the library.   Another big thank you to Grain Belt Express for the Sternberg Museum tickets and USD 347 for the transportation!

We will notify everyone when the T-shirts arrive in a week or two.  Thank you Kinsley Feeders, Frazier Optometry, Southwest Apraisal and Smiles of Dodge City for sponsoring the t-shirts.  When you pick up your t-shirt, you will also get your memory passport, a coupon for a Romano’s Pizza and a coupon for a treat from Hen’s Hideaway.

Thanks to all for providing the rewards the kids have earned by reading and for all the help with the many programming adventures we have experienced!   Remember the Reading Adventure never ends — Reading opens the door to world and everything in it.  See you at the library.

1000 Books B4K is back

Studies have shown that families who start reading aloud to their children from birth help to strengthen their language skills and build their vocabulary – -two important tools for beginning to learn to rad when they enter kindergarten.   Bookmarks to log each time you read a book to your little one are now available at the library.  For every 100 books read, you child will get a treat and a sticker.  When they reach 1000 books, we’ll feature  them in the Edwards County Sentinel and give them a hardback book for a prize.
