The theme is also used to enhance other library programs and activities designed to encourage lifelong learning. The Summer Reading Club is a noncompetitive program. It uses a series of incentives to mark the child's reading achievements. Club members are asked to borrow and read books from the library and record the titles in a log sheet kept at the branch where they joined the club. Any library book may be read for the Club.
Librarians are available to help select books.
There is a lot to choose from. The club is designed for independent readers as well as for young children being read to. If a child is just beginning to read, an adult may help. We also encourage family participation. Reading as a family encourages children to become readers themselves.
