LIBRARY TO OFFER SUMMER READING PROGRAM

Tompkins County Public Library invites children in kindergarten through grade 5 to register for the 2010 Summer Reading Program.

Students from across New York State will participate in this year’s program, Make A Splash Read! At Your Library. Children who read six books throughout the summer will receive a certificate and book prizes.

To participate, children must register in person by visiting the Library’s Youth Services Department or online at tcpl.org/kids/programs-summer.php on or after June 26 and complete the reading log provided at registration.

In celebration of summer reading, join the Library at the following events:

Saturday, June 26 from 2:00 to 3:00 PM -- Robert Rogers Puppet Company kicks off our summer reading program with a performance of “Rainbow Fish in the Deep Blue Sea” in the BorgWarner Community Room.

Wednesday, July 28 from 6:30 to 7:15 PM -- Moreland the Magician celebrates summer reading with his highly entertaining show that highlights the pleasure of reading and the joy of books.

The 2010 Summer Reading Program is made possible with the support of the Helen Thomas Howland Foundation as administered by the Community Foundation of Tompkins County, M&T Bank and a grant from Federal Library Services and Technology Act funds.
