Friday, 03 July, 2009 - Summer Reading Program

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 00:00:00 -0500

June brings not only the start of summer, but the beginning of the Summer Reading Program in Montgomery County Public Libraries (MCPL). The popular program that traditionally draws thousands of children to local public libraries each summer is designed to encourage reading for young people of all ages from preschool through teens.

This year's themes are 'Be Creative @ Your Library' for kids and 'Express Yourself@ Your Library' for teen readers.

Children who sign up for the program anytime between June 17 and August 2 will receive a suggested reading list and a Reading Log to keep track of what they read – or, in the case of preschoolers enrolled in the “Read-to-Me” portion of the program, what titles are read to them.

For young adults, the 'Express Yourself' part of the program will promote leisure reading, writing reviews for the Teen2Teen publication and attending fun programs.  MCPL will continue its partnership with the Montgomery County Recreation Department to bring a Guitar Hero video gaming competition to each branch.  Makeup tips, teen-friendly craft activities, movie fests and book clubs are among the many activities sponsored by MCPL this summer.  Participating teens are eligible to win a new ipod or gift cards to local merchants.

Thanks to generous funding provided by the Friends of the Library, Montgomery County, Inc. and many of the local Friends of the Library chapters, there will be a variety of entertaining, educational programs at all local libraries. Some of the special programs happening this summer include comedy magician Mike Rose, storyteller Gary Lloyd, Shadow Puppets Workshop and The Maryland Science Center.

This year, MCPL once again has joined The National Collaborative Summer Library Program, a consortium of 49 state agencies and associations working together to provide high-quality summer reading program materials.

In addition to Friends of the Library, Montgomery County, other 2009 Summer Reading Club sponsors are: the Baltimore Orioles, Barnes & Noble; Bethesda Big Train Baseball; Chick-Fil-A; Frederick Keys; Gazette Newspapers; Imagination Stage;  McDonald’s Family Restaurants of Montgomery County, MD; Money Mailer, Inc; Montgomery County Agricultural Fair; and FireWorks Arts Cafe.

To request ADA accommodations, at least five work days in advance, contact the library hosting the program or the Disability Resource Center in the Rockville Library at 240-777-0140, TTY-240-777-0902.

Free flyers with detailed information about Summer Reading Club programs are available in each branch, online at <www.montgomerycountymd.gov/library or by calling the Ask-a-Librarian/Línea en otros idiomas at 240-777-0001. TTY users call Maryland Relay at 7-1-1.
