Library to Offer Summer Reading Programs for Children & Teens

Tompkins County Public Library will celebrate summer with the Wednesday, June 24 launch of free reading programs for infants, toddlers, school-aged children and teens.

Programs being offered for 2015 are:

READ TO ME (Pregnancy through Age 4): “Read to Me” encourages parents, parents-to-be and other caregivers to foster a love of reading at an early age.  Registrants who complete a Reading Bingo Card--featuring ideas on incorporating early literacy activities in their everyday routines--will receive a free book and a chance to win gift certificates from local merchants. For more information and to download Reading Bingo Cards, visit:

EVERY HERO HAS A STORY! (Ages 5 through 10):
 “Every Hero Has a Story!” is designed to promote reading for children ages 5 through 10.  Participants are encouraged to read every day during the summer months. Children who keep track of the time they spend reading will receive a free book and the chance to win raffle prizes.

UNMASK: DISCOVER THE HERO WITHIN (Tween & Teen Challenge):  Teens can participate in Summer Reading 2015 by keeping track of the time they spend reading for a chance to earn prizes.
